Extended field trip to visit Eocene areas in southwestern Wyoming. Departure and arrival times to be announced.

Field trip sites include trips to one or two Green River Formation fish quarries, as well as a trip to a rich Wasatch Formation micro-site. Collecting is permitted at these sites.

There is also a limestone deposit near the Wasatch site that has yielded many fossils, including crocodiles, turtles, mammals, and gar. We cannot collect anything at the limestone site however.
