Here is the website that describes the Gainesville Creeks Fauna. https://www.floridamuseum.ufl.edu/florida-vertebrate-fossils/sites/gainesville-creeks-fauna/
Just in case you didn’t write it down, we were in Rattlesnake Creek on NW 18th terrace between NW 8th ave and NW 10th ave.
Best,
Victor

Looks fun! Thanks for sharing, @jbauer. Were there any K-12 teacher attendees from TN? I can’t recall. Regardless, maybe @mgibson and others could share with teachers in TN and the surrounding region!

I have to attend the SGE event and we are sending our new faculty member to take students to SGE. I do hope, and fully encourage, Tennessee teachers to attend at least part of this meeting. Our AIPG folks in…[Read more]
