This is one of the places that we have
been literally hundreds of times. But this time had a little more
meaning than many trips. We were collecting with Mike and Linda McCollum
from Eastern Washington University. After many, many, years the Spence
Shale is finally going to be systematically worked to describe the
numerous trilobite species that occur. This was the first step. As
it stands I think that there are right close to 100 different species
of trilobites found in the Spence Shale in Northern Utah and South
Eastern Idaho. Over the next five years I hope to post many of these
trips that we take with the McCollums. We have been collecting with
them for literally 30+ years and it has been a great pleasure for
us to aid them in any way that we can. This site is one of the original
Spence Shale localities collected by Walcott many years ago.

| .Mike & Linda McCollum spent most of the day measuring the sectioin while we collected specimens for them. |  |
