This is the classic Spence Shale location.
Walcott himself collected this locality for about a week. First collected
by Mr. Spence it has been collected and collected and collected again.
Once again we were collecting with Mike and Linda McCollum from Eastern
Washington University along with a few other friends. |

This is Spence Gulch. When there is actually water there is a small creek that runs right along the bottom of the outcrop. Over the years this stream has created the outcrop that we have today, and it helps clean up the tailings at the bottom as well. This place has more trilobites per square foot than most plaes that I collect. Though the quality isn't 100% the quantity usually makes up for it. |
 |
| Mike, Linda, Jake, and I working the base of the outcrop. Lots of trilobites can be found here. |  |
| Linda inspecting a few of our findings. |  |

| We measured the exposed portion of the outcrop and divided it into 1.5 meter sections. Then we systematically collected it. Hopefull y we will be able to learn something from the diversity of trilobites found. |  |
