For those DMC members who missed or were rained out on the October trip, here is a second chance for some Mississippi fossil collecting! You can expect to find cretaceous invertebrate fossils(gastropods, clams, corals, and ammonites?) and possible some vertebrate such as sharks teeth, etc. There is also pyrite reported in the area, and we may make a visit to Starkville, MS for pyrite if we have time. We will meet at McDonald's, 401 North Church St., Louisville, MS at 9 a.m..(CT) Equipment: Bring tools for shallow scraping or digging and collecting bags, paper or something to wrap fragile specimens. Be sure to remember to bring something to eat and drink. Directions: We will meet at 9:00 a.m.(CT) at McDonald's, 401 North
