Hi all! I've joined some time ago, but am terrible at actually posting. I'm not sure if this is the best place to post this, but over Memorial Day weekend @Boesse and I traveled to Aurora, NC for the 24th annual Aurora Fossil Fest! We saw multiple collections from people in the North Carolina Fossil Club, including finds from the Lee Creek Mine. We were there representing the Mace Brown Museum of Natural History, and we wrote a blog post up on it! http://blogs.cofc.edu/macebrownmuseum/2017/06/02/friday-fossil-feature-2017-aurora-fossil-fest/

 

I don't know everyone's handles on this board, but I know @sixgill pete , @SailingAlongToo, @aerogrower, @Al Dente, @Jniederkorn, @Daleksec were all there! Sorry if I've missed someone, feel free to let me know handles of people I missed :)

Thanks for moving it! I wasn't sure where to place it. We definitely had fun! Also, it's Sarah, not Susan ;) To be fair I don't post often enough to make that clear!

Sarah, it was great to see you and Bobby again. After reading your blog it looks like you guys had a great few days of collecting. Looking forward to coming down to Charleston sometime this summer to see the museum.

Great, comprehensive post! Nice finds. Two months ago, I had planned on visiting this event but things changed when I won the auction for the fish fossiling in Kemmerer, Wy. My brother has a place by Moorhead/ Beaufort and we were going to arrange a visit during the festivities. After seeing your postings, I hope I did not make a wrong choice. Looked like a wonderful time!! There will be next year hopefully!
