Maine Fossils

                           Although Maine is not the best of places to find the remains of the dinosaurs, in some places fossils originating from the Paleozoic Era are plentiful and frequently found. Evidence of these organisms are found in slate and shale which is plentiful within the bedrock of Greenville and a number of ponds surrounding. Slate quarries sometimes offer easier unearthing of these well preserved and delicate fossils.  Trilobites, marine arthropods, mollusks, and even marine flora are found from time to time; sometimes by simply walking along the sandy banks of a low water level pond or stream. Most importantly you should never give up, always try your best, fossils will be around for a long time to come. If you would like to know more about Maine fossils I would suggest the book:
