Submitted by Vicki Lais on Fri, 03/12/2004 - 11:00pmWe began our field trip for this month at a quarry in Jefferson County, to view specimens in the quarry classroom. Then we caravaned to the collecting site in Morgan Co, AL (except Vicki, who was talking so much to Bill and Adelle that she failed to see everyone else passing her on the interstate ...)
We had a wonderful day of collecting, beautiful weather and great turnout. We went to a new spot in the quarry, in addition to the site from last year. Collecting is in the Mississippian Period (340-310 mya), in

There were numerous shells found at these sites, many in almost perfect condition. If one didn't know better, they could be mistaken for recent material.
