Located south of town. A series of quarries (now closed but managed under Nalley & Hayden company) in the Upper Ordovician Bull Fork Formation. Minerals are common in fossils, particularly stromatoporoid sponges and brachiopods. Vugs up to 30 cm may be found, generally lined with scalenohedral calcite (white, pink or brown).
October 2013 - access road to the main pit is washed out.
