 So these are some of the coolest fossils that you'll find in D.C. Southwest D.C.'s Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial is a beautiful slab of granite towering over the water on a hot summer's day. But I'm not actually headed to the statue itself, as I found out when I linked up once again with district fossil hunter Christopher Barr. It's beautiful and it's very impressive, but the one thing it doesn't have is fossils.
