Our memory of this site is that the pickings were better in years past. It took a while to find fossils.

The day was spent roaming the creek, playing in the sand and creek, or just hanging out sunbathing. Several members camped out for the weekend on the bald, where more fossils were found.

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.
