Tyndall Lmst fossil
Fossicking for fossils in Tyndall Limestone, a decorative building stone in many Canadian cities.
The distinctive mottled limestone is central Canada's most prevalent building stone, still being quarried after a century of use. Its decorative fossiliferous facade is seen throughout North America and some went overseas.
The legislative / parliament buildings of Winnipeg, Regina and Ottawa contain abundant Ordovician fossils in Tyndall Limestone. If a stone building in your town is faced with a grey- or tan-coloured, two-toned stone with mottled texture, it's probably this limestone from Manitoba and you should try 'tyndall-ling' for fossils.
Quarry nearest Garson Manitoba is geotagged.
