BPS members took a long road trip to roadcuts in Colbert County on August 25, where everyone found a good selection of blastoids, brachiopods, trilobites, and other Mississippian age fossils at two separate collecting sites.

Afterwards, we relaxed and cooled off in a creek on some propery owned by one of our members.

Every year, the BPS visits a lake in Franklin County, Alabama when the lake level is down from normal, exposing rocks from the Bangor Limestone dating back to the late Mississipian Period of geological history (about 320 million years). About 25 BPS members and guests attended the field trip, which took place on a beautiful, sunny, and pleasantly warm day.
