Segmented trace fossils
March 29, 2008 - Pennsylvanian Fossils - Walker and Jefferson County, AL
Submitted by Vicki Lais on Sun, 04/13/2008 - 6:00pmThis month BPS spent our field trip exploring road cuts along a new highway, which included 10+ stops to survey various likely looking areas. Though rain was widely predicted, it didn't happen, and the weather was perfect for being outside. The fossil collecting wasn't as prolific as expected, but everyone found quite a few nice specimens, including brachiopods, tracks, and ferns. We also discovered an upright hole that appeared on first glance to be a blasting hole, but on closer examination one could see the impression of a lycopod, perhaps a lepidodendron.
