Hey Dan, That is really a great place to see. One that every
rockhound in this area should visit atleast once.
Well worth the drive thru historic Gulf and surrounds.
It's really not far north of Glendon, so I usually try to stop by
and check it out on the way back.
I was there about six months ago and nothing had been done
to change things. About a year ago the property was bought
by a new group planning on starting to make a new type of
brick. They had a big public open house there at the site.
The company invited archaeologist, paleontologist, and
a lot of those other "gists", to answer questions as the
public was allowed to dig. The piles they made that day
are still sitting there, tho pretty sifted thru and broken up,
but it's a good place to adjust your eye to what you're
looking for. The "Ideal" way to collect them would be to
get certain layers out of the bank the debris came from
in one large flat piece. And that's alot of work now that
the bank has been dug back so far.
But the golden-orange clay profile of the bank in the side of
the ridge jutting out into the old clay pits is easily seen
from the gravel road where you park.
I want to walk those old clay pits sometime but I'm
definitely going to wait until after hunting season.
That place is well used during hunting season, or used to be,
so, as usual, I recommend Sundays this time of year.

Ya gotta go sometime . No tellin what's going to become
of the place when, if ever, the company does start doing
something with the property.

And one last note for ya Dan. Preserving the specimens
is a lot harder than collecting them. Very fragile stuff.
But really worth seeing.
If you go, have a good time!
Later, Joe

I'd just go on down and poke around some.
If anyone runs you off you can ask him to call then.
