Fossil hunt on the Meramec River
Fenton, Missouri
Age: Mississippian (Warsaw Formation)

We took the Homelite gasoline powered water pump to wash off the limestone
along the river. We all know that the best time to hunt fossils is after a rain.
When we go fossil hunting near water ... We take the water pump.
The water pump allows us to "take the rain with us" on hot dry summer days.

Hey, Carl ... take the pump down to the river and set it up!
