Field Trip


Ordovician and Silurian in the area of Richmond and Irvine, Kentucky

April 27

On Saturday, April 27 at 10 am we will meet at the Dairy Queen located at 131 N. Keeneland Drive in Richmond near I-75 Exit 90. We will be collecting at road cuts between Richmond and Irvine, Kentucky on Route 52. Since the Bluegrass Gem and Mineral Club is having a show at the Mountain Mushroom Festival (see elsewhere in this newsletter for details), we will end the trip at the show. Bring a geology hammer and containers for specimens. 


If you are coming on the trip we can send you an electronic copy of a field guide published last year when the Kentucky Society of Professional Geologists had a trip to this area. Send Editor, George Weems (George's email is George.1.weems@gmail.com), or Dan Phelps (edrioasteroid@msn.com) a message and they will send you a PDF of the guidebook.




Everyone please remember to think of safety!
