February 7 and 8, 2009 Mississippian Fossils, NW Alabama, various sites
Submitted by Nancy Kenfield Lea on Tue, 02/17/2009 - 11:00pmBPS members gathered in NW Alabama for a full weekend field-trip February 7 and 8. We couldn't have begged, pleaded or prayed for better weather! Since we were slogging through a great deal of mud culling for Mississippian fossils, the unseasonal warmth was a treat! Lots of conglomerate "collections" were found, featuring the remains of archimedes, brachiopods and crinoids.
