BPS did a return trip to Butler County this month. South Alabama had a lot of rain this year, and the creek looked very different from our previous trip; also, the water was much higher this time. A number of nice teeth were found, nautaloids, and small gastropods on the ridge. The best entertainment for the day was watching Claire spin her way up the mountain, after getting stuck in the very soft, wet clay/chalk.
Several of us proceeded on south to Point A Dam for the late evening. The water was being released, so the normal collecting area was underwater, however, Claire found a new area that was very productive.
