After a morning spent collecting in the HOT gullies, we cooled off at lunch in a torrential downpour. Luckily the weather cleared up in time for collecting in a nearby creek, which was delayed a bit while we had to find the access road under all the kudzu! Yes, it's taking over Alabama!
This trip is always popular in spite of the distance. It's always well worth the drive, and again this year, a number of fossils in very good condition were found.
The annual Science Teacher Workshop was conducted by the University of West Alabama, and the Geological Survey of Alabama. Volunteer assistance was provided by members of BPS.
Hot summer day, cold creek, shark teeth, an excellent combination!
