Lee Craig and the site of the fossil quarry were written about in the August, 1934 issue of National Geographic. The article is titled "The Compleat Angler, Fishes for Fossils." The "fishing" is better today than ever. Being a limestone shale, each layer of stone is hand dug, opening up like the pages of a book. The excitment generated during the moment of discovery never diminishes after 20 years of working this site. The sediments of this ancient freshwater lake have been dated at 51.7 million years. Anything that lived in, flew over, walked around or floated into the ancient lake could conceivable be trapped within these calcium rich limestone sediments. From flooring and countertops to wall art, these fossils provide a warmth and natural connection within the home environment. The original fossil fish digger R.
