This workshop is held every year in October. Here are some photographs from 2018, taken by Vicki Lais. We were studying what fossils can tell us about interactions among organisms.
Fossils of the Black
Belt 20 (2019) — a Hands-on Field Workshop
The Geological Survey of
Alabama and the University of West Alabama take the lead in
presenting Fossils of the Black Belt 20,
the latest in a long-running series of annual field paleontology
workshops for teachers. This year's workshop will focus on
biostratigraphy, the science of what fossils can tell us about the
layering and ages of rocks. We will meet at Harrell Station, a
productive Cretaceous fossil site on private land near Selma,
Alabama. The workshop will take place on Tuesday, October 15, 2019.
The cost is $28 for this one-day workshop. This includes lunch and a
vast array of science-education goodies, including the famed book by
Jim Lacefield, Lost Worlds in Alabama Rocks (a
$25 value).
