Saturday, October 15th
Meet at McDonalds in Brownwood @ 9:00.
We will then travel to near Lake Brownwood to get some coral specimens.
We will then travel to Wilson's Clay Pit for the remainder of the day.
Sunday, October, 16th
Meet at McDonalds in Brownwood @ 9:00.
We will visit an interesting Permian site on a private ranch about
45 miles west of Brownwood. Plan to have lunch at the small lake there
and experience a bit of ranch adventure.
From there we travel about 30 minutes to Lake San Tana.
Time permitting, those interested can go to the large Pennsylvanian road cut
20 miles south of Brownwood. It appears to have been hunted pretty hard
recently, but there are still plenty of specimens there.
Itinerary can be subject to change.
NOTE: THE LAKE BROWNWOOD SPILLWAY SITE IS NOT RECOMMENDED
Lake Brownwod State Park has good camping, and there are several hotels in Brownwood.
The DPS is a group of professional and amateur paleontologists that want to exchange information, interact, and continue their education in paleontology. We meet once a month on the second Wednesday evening of the month at Brookhaven College, Building H.
