Victor K. Dodge of Lexington, and geologist W. R. Jillson of Frankfort were at excavations near Blue Licks Battlefield State Park in Robertson County, where bones of prehistoric animals were found. Known as the site of the last battle of the American Revolution, it also is an important paleontological site because of the discovery of fossils of large animals that once visited the salt licks that had formed from the springs in the area. On Saturday, Blue Licks Battlefield State Resort Park will host an event where paleontologist and interpretive naturalist Alan Goldstein will look at local fossils and help identify fossils that visitors bring.
