WORLD-CLASS FOSSIL DISCOVERY IN NORTHWEST ALABAMA

Again this year, a number of BPS members visited several mines near Wilmington, North Carolina, the beach, and a shell pit a number of miles inland. We spent extra days there, from June 13 - 16.

BPS members spent the weekend of May 24-26 on a camping trip to a Lowndes County, Alabama, hunting club, to collect in creeks and gullies. We found crabs in nodules, ammonites, turritella, and had a great time!

Once again, BPS members visited a coal mine in Walker County, Alabama, where many varieties of plant fossils were found.

BPS members visited a private museum owned by one of our newest members - wonderful specimens, as he has worked around mines most of his life. Then we went to Taft Coal mine in Walker County, Alabama for collecting.

BPS members collected in the Bangor Limestone in Franklin County, Alabama, and made several stops at roadcuts in the area.

No field trip this month, instead we had a holiday party at Leisa's home.

We collected in Cherokee County, Alabama, in the pebbles and shaley outcrops around a lake, which was low for the winter, exposing a wide shoreline.
