r/FossilHunting Found in North Central Alabama. It is stone and almost looks like it has been in a fire. It was most likely excavated from red clay and chert for a garage in my yard.

Has anyone gone to Aurora NC after rain?
Today and yesterday was very rainy in Aurora. I’m wondering if it’s worth digging the fossil pits tomorrow or if it would be too wet and muddy? I love a few hours away so don’t want to drive it if it’ll be a washout. Thanks in advance
