A. C. ZICAR 1957 JUVENIA JUNE 21 1 mi. N, 6 mi. E Hill City (on Hwy 24), Geary Co. Kans. Started not about 10:30 am or so & looked for fish fossils for 20-30 minutes. Land is mostly grazed with grass but in some spots small hills & hillocks of limestone layers appear, we walked over flat out. A few layers thin no so in thickness. Hillocks are about 6-10 ft tall and are well eroded. Saw many artifacts of gypsum (?) crystals in the stone. Stone so soft it could be broken with the hands. Several inch long oyster-like shells seen. In rock weathered out, found a fish vertebra 732/ in sandy soil between layers of limestone. Also split some rocks & found fish scales(?) loose in rock leaving a imprint but coming out whole - looked like thin hard very brittle. The guys found some parts of a vertebral column portions of fish tail (very dark brown color), apparently some nice fish fossils at Univ. Kans. had been taken from locations similar to this one, locality is 7 mi. ENE (by road) Hill City on us. Hwyly 24 800 ft. or so N of Hwy., also some small "plates" of iron bearing rock seen in limestone. These were rust colored & were a little harder than most of the limestone.
