One of the young guys I work with(landscape) is a caver. He, and his team, have mapped many miles of uncharted caves in Tenn. He was telling me about a "room" he was in last weekend that had giant muscles fossils and large chunks of coral. When I asked him about a few samples he said they were not allowed to haul stuff out plus it wouldn't be practical or safe to haul samples out a mile or 2 from down in the cave.  He did give me a chunk(softball size) he recovered from a stream at the mouth of the cave that has blue streaks in it. He has promised me more when he can get it. I'll have this stuff at the camp-o-rama for you guys to play with.

When you come upon a track or trail you do not know, follow it to the point of knowing.
