awesome fossil field trip

On Friday morning, the Rock Doctor, Bill Cordua addressed 80 children at an assembly before our field trip.  The excitement was over the top.  We then boarded the busses and were wowed by the number of fossils we were able to glean from the Decorah formation just outside River Falls.  I got one really great specimen that was loaded with sea lilies and fossil shells.  It was pretty incredible.  The kids had a blast and the parent chaperones kept saying it was the best field trip they had experienced.

So thankful for experts who love to share their love of learning with others.
