I'M ORIGINALLY FROM MAYSVILLE. I LIVED IN SAN DIEGO FOR YEARS WHERE THERE ARE MANY QUARTS MINES. YOU COULD DRIVE BY AND SEE QUART STICKING UP OUT OF THE GROUND ALL AROUND. NEEDLESS TO SAY, MY PLACE WAS COVERED WITH BIG QUARTS ROCKS! NOW I'VE COME HOME TO CARE FOR ELDERLY PARENTS AND DECIDED TO STAY. HERE I FIND SO MUCH LIMESTONE AND IN THE CUTS OF THE ROADWAYS SO MANY FOSSILS!! I HAVE A BETTER PLACE THAN IN YOUR VIDEO...WITHOUT THE HEAVY HIGHWAY NOISE. I HAVE BEEN COLLECTING ROCKS FOR YEARS AND USING THEM TO BUILD AROUND MY LANDSCAPING AND TREES AND FLOWERS. I HAVE FOUND SO MANY ROCKS WITH BEAUTIFUL FOSSILS IN THEM IN MAYSVILLE! BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW TO IDENTIFY THE FOSSILS. I JUST THINK THEY ARE GORGEOUS. I COLLECT OFF A HIGHWAY THAT IS A MUCH OLDER ROAD THAT WAS CUT OUT MANY YEARS AGO... MANY MORE YEARS THAN THE AA HIGHWAY. I'VE OFTEN WONDERED HOW MANY MILLIONS OF YEARS THESE ROCKS WERE FORMED. BUT I CAN SEE SEA CREATURES AND SEA PLANTS PERHAPS SOME CORAL FOSSILS. I WISH SOMEONE COULD TELL ME ABOUT THEM. THE SITE IS IN THE MIDDLE OF EVERYTHING YET NOT AS BUSY. WHEN IT RAINS THE PLACE IS LITTERED WITH SMALL WATERFALLS.
