Colter Davis, geoscience professor at Utah State University, will lead a hike near the Mt. Carmel Junction to look at the crinoid-rich limestone of the Middle Jurassic Carmel Formation. This rock unit is full of ooids and star-shaped crinoid columnals of the crinoid Isocrinus nicoleti. He will discuss the details of these fossils and the depositional history of when Utah was partially covered by an epicontinental seaway.
