Bureau County Some 40 miles downstream from Morris on the Illinois River, plant fossils have been discovered in waste from the Spring Valley Coal Co. mine 1. They also are found in black shale below the LaSalle Limestone in a small gully in the southwest part of town, but at neither place are they plentiful. Knox County A notable number and variety of well preserved plant fossils have been produced from a locality along Court Creek in East Galesburg. The Rock Island (No. 1) Coal is mined in the area and the fossils appear to have come from the shale overlying it. [Illustration: uncaptioned] Fossil plants also have been found in shales above the Colchester (No. 2) Coal in the vicinity of DeLong and with the Herrin (No. 6) Coal in mines southeast of Victoria. Mercer and Warren Counties In northern Warren and southern Mercer Counties the sandstone underlying the Rock Island (No. 1) Coal is termed the “Stigmarian” sandstone because of numerous siliceous casts found in the bed. Many of the fossils have been collected from an old mine dump and from ravines along the Edwards River northeast of Aledo. A number of representatives of _Sphenophyllum_, _Neuropteris_, and _Annularia_ have been collected from ironstone concretions occurring in shale that overlies the Colchester (No. 2) Coal about three miles southwest of Alexis. They were found in a gully about a third of a mile southeast of Center School.

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. [Illustration: uncaptioned] 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.
