January 22, 2011 - Devonian Fossils - St. Clair County, AL
Submitted by admin2 on Sun, 01/30/2011 - 11:08pmBPS members headed to St. Clair County this month to search for Devonian fossils. With the past week having numerous days below freezing, we were hoping the predicted 48 degrees would be bearable. It actually turned out to be a very pleasant sunny day. After a too-long hiatus from fossil trips, we had members showing up from Huntsville, Birmingham, Mobile, Anniston, Montgomery, and Georgia to spend the day outside digging in the dirt. Quite literally! We had been asked to collect soil samples for Jun Ebersole so the first order of business was to collect baggies of dirt.
June 13-14, 2009 - Cretaceous and Tertiary Fossils, Butler Co, AL
Submitted by admin2 on Mon, 08/17/2009 - 9:57pmThis month the group traveled to Butler County, Alabama, to a sandy creek which runs through early Tertiary and late Cretaceous material. The weather was overcast on Saturday, making collecting very pleasant. A number of members camped out for the weekend. Sunday the sun was out, and it made us grateful for the cloud cover on Saturday!
The sandy beaches and gravel areas yielded up shark teeth, ray teeth, some nautiloid sections, and recent mammal material which was sometimes as fasinating as the fossils.

Submitted by admin2 on Sun, 01/04/2009 - 6:34pmIf you wanted a day/weekend out in the woods, you couldn't have custom-ordered more perfect weather or a more perfect spot to enjoy the outdoors. A small group of BPS’ers set out for Butler County to a site owned by a member’s relatives. They kindly let us in there at least once a year and a big THANK YOU goes out to them from BPS. We use the word “intrepid” a lot to describ
