The Falls of the Ohio continues to inspire my geology-geek interests, as it has for most of the 25 years since the Visitor Center opened. For a quick overview, the Falls of the Ohio fossil beds have exposed specimens that are 390 million years old! Back in the day, I took pictures of the fossils for a geology project on a trip back home. My classmates at Santa Monica College in Los Angeles were blown away! For a timestamp, I used an actual camera, and had a I film canister for scale in my pictures. On most trips back, a visit to Falls was secondary only to a White Castle run.
Now, I'm getting a chance to see some of the cool specimens not accessible on any other day. Shout out to Park Paleontologist Alan Goldstein for his patience with questions from all the fans!
I'm looking forward to another 25 years, and many more!!
