Featured Speaker: Our featured speaker will be Dr. Carrie Schweitzer of Kent State University who will present on "The Paleoecology, Niches, Taxonomy and Evolutionary History of the Decapods". The Decapods (meaning "ten-footed") are an order of crustaceans that include many familiar invertebrates, such as lobsters, crayfish, crabs, prawns, and shrimp. Most decapods are scavengers.

Collector's Corner: For this month's Collector's Corner you are invited to bring in your fossil lobsters, crayfish, crabs, prawns, and shrimp for showing others and sharing information.

Swap Meet: At this month's meeting we will have a fossil swap meet. You will have the opportunity to trade or exchange fossils with other members who are present at the meeting. So, check your collection for fossils that you might trade to someone else to get some fossils that you've always wanted but never had the opportunity.
