SUMMARY:Trout Creek
DESCRIPTION:Dates:  Saturday\, July 18th \nLeader:  Dennis Gertenbach \nLocation:  Trout Creek\, CO – Collecting on local\, state\, or federal public land between Deckers and Woodland Park \nOn this trip\, we will be collecting is in the Manitou Formation from two sites. During the Ordovician (439 to 500 million years ago)\, Colorado was covered with an ocean. Fossils from that time include trilobites (mostly molts)\, brachiopods\, cystoids\, and other marine animals. \nBoth sites we plan to visit are old quarries. We will look for fossils that remain in the loose rock. \nThe first site is a half-mile uphill hike from where we will park. This site has brachiopods and cystoids. (Cystoids were ancient animals that were related to crinoids and other five-sided echinoderms.) \nThe quarry at the second site is about 1/2 mile up a rough road. If we have enough high-clearance vehicles\, we can all ride to the quarry. If not\, there will be a moderate hike with a 500-foot elevation gain. (At least we’ll be hiking our specimens downhill\, rather than uphill.) This site has trilobites (mostly separate pygidiums and cephalons) and several species of brachiopods. \nThe field trip leader has a permit from the Forest Service to provide information about the fossils we collect. Please show any interesting fossils you find to him. \nIf you have questions about the trip\, please contact Dennis Gertenbach at gertenbach1@gmail.com.
