Yup. Are you familiar with the area? I got a complete but flattened trilobite, a couple of nice blastoids and a bunch of the usual things. I love that place but wish it wasn't so far away.

[Dave Bailey]

Only been there once, it's a long drive from Pickering. But that area is legendary for fossils. More variation than the Collingwood area.

[Fossil Fish]

Probably more variation than anywhere in the province. Have you ever tried Bowmanville or Brechin?

[Dave Bailey]

Not yet. Brechin is a quarry, isn't it? And I'm not familiar with the Bowmanville site. I remember there being a beach area in Cobourg, went there over twenty years ago, can't remember the exact location now.
