In the same general area but about three miles due south of Alexis, fossil plants also may be found in the clay pits of the Hydraulic-Press Brick Company and the Northwestern Clay Manufacturing Company.
Fulton County
Although there are numerous isolated occurrences of plant fossils throughout the extensive strip mines and outcrops in Fulton County, no exceptionally good collecting localities have been discovered.
Fern and cordaitean leaves have been collected along Mill Creek about a mile northeast of Pleasantview where the fossils occur in the shale overlying the Babylon Coal. In the same general area, impressions and casts of Stigmaria, Lepidodendron, and Cordaites have been found in the Babylon Sandstone.
Three miles north of Pleasantview, a quarter of a mile northwest of Union School, several species of leaves have been collected from the Browning Sandstone where it is exposed in a roadcut.
Farther east, there is a fairly good locality in the stream bluff of Kerton Creek about 3¼ miles north and a quarter of a mile west of Bluff City. There the plants are found about 18 feet below a coal bed.
