I saw my tentative schedule for guiding this past Saturday.
Post up when you know your slot...
I'll be there both days the first weekend.
Well, my feet have been cold all day and my nose is running--guess it's Spring Season at Aurora again! Maybe they overlooked feeding a tiny bit of James City to the bucketwheel excavator. I'd like to find one more good Horse Mussel. PatY
I am very ready...I have never been in the spring. I was fortunate to get my first ever slot this past fall. I am hoping to be one of the lucly ones to get a slot this spring!! I emailed my request in on the morning of the 15th...anybody heard yet??
My request went in the morning of the 15th also but I have a feeling everyone's did. Haven't seen you at the cliffs in a while....you must be spending too much time looking for shed antlers!
I must be either crazy or smart (not figured out which one yet -- probably crazy) I sent my request in at 2:08 am on Jan 15th. If I get in, it'll be my first ever trip. I've heard different things from different people about priority. Some say that fossil clubs will get the first slots and others have told me it's first request first serve. Can anyone enlighten me on this?
Jack,
The first 6 collecting days of each season go to the members of the Friends of the Aurora Fossil Museum. After that, there is no set in stone way the scheduling is done. Clubs, schools and individuals are all given equal weight in the selection process--it's just a matter of juggling the numbers in an attempt to give everyone the opportunity. PCS gets between 700 and 1000 fossil requests each season so it would be impossible to honor collecting date preferences and still get everyone in to collect during the three months allowed.

Thanks for clearing that up for me Pat. Hope to see ya out there.
You are right on! I have been really busy and its a little easier to stay close to home and look for sheds...I have found five already including one nice 5 point side. I really hope we get slots!!! The spring season looks like a lot of fun!!!
