Our September Club Meeting will be on Sept. 27th. It will be from 1-3 in the downstairs classroom.
We had 23 NPA members out in the field this year for our June field season reboot. This was a big undertaking for the new Field trip team - thank you Jim & Larry.
Between both outings we visited 14 fossil sites representing many different geological timeframes. We collected shrimp claws, crabs, clams, teredo wood, crinoids, brachiopods, horn coral, ammonites, insects of many types, plants, big and small trilobites, multiple types of Cretaceous gastropods, Blue Forest petrified wood, Eocene fossil fish, and of course, a few gorgeous rocks. If you went on the trips please send photos to your trip leader or to us at info@northwestpaleo.org.
Club business at this meeting will include a discussion of our new Education Outreach plan for Judith and we are looking for volunteers who wish to join Vince & Mark putting this together.
Next we’ll recap our field trips and learn a little about the fossils at those field trip sites. We will also have Kelsie Abrams, Fossil Lab Manager of the Burke Museum share her dinosaur hunting field trip news. Members - bring your favorite field trip finds for show and tell too!
