Lakeside is an old railroad town and sits right next to the rail that goes across the causeway in the Great Salt Lake. The quarry for the fill is next to the town, just west and a bit south. The distance between them is less than 1/2 mile. There are also rail lines going into the quarry, since they still occasionally get fill there for maintaining the causeway. This sounds like what your co-worker is talking about. Brent --- Chuck Hards <chuckhards@yahoo.com> wrote:
My co-worker told me that the railroad ran right next to, or through the area. He mentioned also a large quarry (Brent, is this the same one you mentioned?) that had fossils about.
Thanks
Chuck

I've heard of a site north of Delle (one exit east of the Lakeside/Eagle Range exit). Go north from the exit and you'll see a shallow wash/canyon on the south side of the Lakeside Mountains. Follow the road up the canyon. The site is on the west side I believe. Sorry I can't be more specific.
