hot day found the troops begging for a "water field trip" so we could
cool off. We had mixed feelings about
what we saw
when
we got there and found that drought conditions had virtually dried up
the creek-bed. On the other hand, a good deal more fossils
were exposed. This is our favorite spot for collecting

month, BPS members headed to Montgomery county to collect in the

A surprise awaited - one site we have visited for years used to have a huge sand pile shaped like a mushroom that was filled with shark teeth. The mushroom
