- Michigan_fossil_hunting abstract "Michigan is a state within the USA that is not known for fossiliferous rocks, but there are some localities where fossils may be found. Most are from the Late Devonian period, others are from the Late Pleistocene period, the Silurian period, and Carboniferous periods. However, small amounts of Precambrian period fossils consisting of stromotolites, metazoans and algal can be found in Precambrian outcrops located in Michigans Upper Peninsula. http://www.michigan.gov/documents/deq/MFP_5_Fill_In_The_Blanks_301808_7.pdf The oldest megascopic fossils found in Michigan have been found in the Negaunee iron formation near Palmer, MI at the Empire Mine. The fossils are of a primitive, filiment-like ancestor of algae. Scientists have determined the fossils to be 2.1 billion years old. http://www.michigan.gov/documents/deq/Oldest_Fossil_304663_7.pdf They are found in thin layers in one section of the mine. The fossil is known as Grypania cf. spiralis which is preserved as a corkscrew-shaped, or spaghetti like marks that look like random O's, C's and 6's. Devonian fossils of Michigan are marine, consisting of brachiopods, crinoids, corals, bryzoans, trilobites, gastropods, fish, blastoids, and cephalopods. Carboniferous fossils are usually found in central Michigan, and are not usually well preserved. Near St. Charles, Michigan there is a site that has plants in good preservation, but this site is nearly impossible for the amateur to access. Silurian fossils are usually found on the shores of the Great Lakes, often as Petoskey stones. This is revealed by the presence of the index fossil Halysites. Pleistocene fossils are few and far between, often found by construction workers or farmers. The chance of finding a mammoth or mastodon is very low. Higher quality fossils are found mostly in the northern region of the Lower Peninsula.".
