Submitted by Ann Strozier on Sun, 07/28/2019 - 9:35pmOn Saturday, July 27, 2019, a much-anticipated field trip took place. A good sized group of BPS members and guests met at a pre-determined spot in Sumter County and then caravanned to a lovely Cretaceous chalk gully site that has not been surveyed for several years. Because of a tightly-strung barb wire fence, James made a lovely pair of steps (stiles) for getting the group up and over. There was reference made to accessing the gullies “in STYLE”. Funny but not quite time to give up your day job.

The weather was warm but with slightly lower humidity which was much appreciated. After a short drive to the site and a short hike to the gullies, James gathered everyone for an informative talk about the age, formation and fossils in the gullies, as well as some collecting etiquette.
