August 11, 2018 - Oligocene Fossils, Jasper County, MS
Submitted by Ann Strozier on Tue, 08/14/2018 - 2:33pmOn Saturday, Aug 11, 2018, a small group of BPS members and guests traveled to Jasper County, Mississippi where we were joined by our enthusiastic, knowledgeable host. We were led to a small working lime quarry that featured, from the Oligocene, outcrops of Bucatunna clay, Glendon formation limestone and Marianna limestone. The quarry process yielded specimens from the Mint Spring unit but the unit itself was underwater.

Shells and echinoids in matrix. These rocks are pretty hard, so these were left in place.
