Our collection of fossils was partially comprised of fossils we collected on our club field trips we visit
throughout the year. After our discussion and questions were answered we went outside to screen through material brought back form our Huntsville dig in February. We found brachiopods, Archimedes, crinoids and gastropods and after the Jr’s where through, the parents had their fun sorting through it. There was material from the Pennsylvanian age plant fossils that Ginger collected from the Durham mine to give to the Jr’s. We will be visiting that dig site later this year.

The Jr’s were able to take home many fossils that day and I want to that thank a few people for their donations. David Braswell for the Huntsville material, Bob Dolezal for the plate material from Fort Oglethorpe and Cemex material and Ginger Lassard for the Durham material. You have brightened the kids day by your kindness and know that they will carry those fossils with them for years like we have, thank you!
Another note of thanks, after we finish our program, we have found that the Jr’s love running through the yard and combing through our rock piles. So thank you members for keeping those rock piles freshly stocked, it is certainly not wasted but truly enjoyed by the kids.
