Birmingham Paleontological Society

The Birmingham Historical Society will be having their annual Meeting on February 26, 2024 at the Botanical Gardens Auditorium in Birmingham, Alabama.  Their keynote speaker is Dr. Deutsch, who wrote the book Ancient Life in Alabama - The Fossils, The Finders & Why It Matters.  This talk is titled "A Walk Through Deep Time".

Several members of BPS are mentioned in the book, including our founder, James Lamb, Chase Egli, and Ricky Mims.

The book will be available for sale and for autographs after the meeting.

Dr. George Phillips will again host the annual Fossil Road Show at the mississippi Museum of Natural Science on Saturday, March 2, 2024.  Fossil groups from all over the south attend this event, and show off their fossils.  BPS will have an exhibit table at the road show this year, as will one of our members, Chase Eglin.  It's a long trip, but worth the drive.
