BPS members listening to lecture on mining operations in the area.
August 25, 2007 - Pennsylvanian Fossils, Tuscaloosa Co, AL
Submitted by Nancy Kenfield Lea on Sun, 09/16/2007 - 4:06pmA trip to a non-working mine site to explore spoil piles for invertebrate fossils was on the menu for BPS's August field trip. The mining company, headquartered in Tuscaloosa county generously offered us the opportunity to explore at this site. A long, hot day on a moonscape was nevertheless a great trip, yielding some beautiful specimens.
We met with the mining engineer who gave us a quick overview of the mining operations, then let us go onto the piles to do our hunting. We hunted until the heat got to us and it was time to seek air-conditioning.

Submitted by Vicki Lais on Tue, 04/24/2007 - 11:00pmA few BPS members drove over to Tuscaloosa, AL to hear a lecture on fossil whales. We arrived early, and decided to "fossil hunt" at the Geological Survey of Alabama building. The steps and bannisters are of limestone, and are nicely weathered out to show beautiful fossils.
