A few weeks I was able to join a Geological Society of Minnesota field trip to the Fossil & Prairie Park Preserve of Floyd County, Iowa, which to some of you may be more familiar as the Rockford site. We ended up having a practically ideal day: pleasant temperatures, clear skies, dry conditions, and a light breeze. If you have an itch to collect fossils (an itch that's becoming difficult to legally scratch in Minnesota these days), I highly recommend a visit.
