Mineral Wells Fossil Park, Texas
"The park as it exists today is a result of 20 years of erosion of the
old City of Mineral Wells landfill's borrow pit, which was closed in the
early 1990s. The erosion of the borrow pit has revealed fossils
documenting ancient sea species of crinoids (sea lilies), echinoids
(urchins), brachiopods, pelecypods (clams and oysters), bryozoans,
corals, trilobites (arthropods), plants and even primitive sharks."--http://www.mineralwellsfossilpark.com/
