This site is in fairly high cuts on the North side of the Interstate 64 off and on ramps at the junction with Indiana 37 that expose a number of Mississippian marine formations
It's hard to miss. From I64 West, take the Exit 86 off-ramp. From I64 East, take the off ramp, turn left and drive a few hundred meters N. From Indiana 37, drive to I64.
There is a very large parking area North of the I64 Westbound on-ramp.
