Submitted by Vicki Lais on Sun, 03/02/2008 - 10:51pmA large crew of BPS members and guests headed to northwest Alabama this month, in hopes of finding crinoid heads and trilobites. Well, we found both! We left Birmingham expecting a high of 50, however, that must have been in the wee hours of the morning, as the temperature hovered in the mid-30's all day. Brrr!! But that didn't keep the fossils inside, nor did it deter detemined fossil seekers.
Our first stop was a roadcut where numerous specimens of coral were found, many too large to carry home.
