Details: At area mine dumps and pits, pyrite suns (radiating disks of pyrite) can be found. In the western dumps fossil blastoids are founds. This is a renowned location. I think it is found in the shale layer above the coal layer.
Directions: I don't know where to go there, but maybe ask locals or do a little more research on the internet including looking at google earth.
