We collected in Cherokee County, Alabama, in the pebbles and shaley outcrops around a lake, which was low for the winter, exposing a wide shoreline. An outcrop of the Middle Cambrian Conasauga Shale of the Coosa Valley is at this site, and numerous trilobites were found. A number of members went scouting for new sites in the area. The best find of the trip was a complete trilobite impression on a hard nodule.
