Last year, I gave Ken McKinney, a bryozoan specialist at Appalachian State University, directions to a temporary outcrop in Livingston, Alabama that was yielding some nice Cretaceous bryozoans. He was ecstatic. He's giving a talk next week in which he says that a single large oyster specimen hosted no fewer than 50 species of attached bryozoans! This is more species than were previously known from all localities put together from the Cretaceous of the region bordering the Gulf of Mexico. When I clean fossils, I never remove the attached animals; they are sometimes much more interesting than the host. Oh, the outcrop? Well, easy come, easy go. A Livingston geologist called me the other day to say that an apartment building now covers almost all of it. I don't quite know how to break the news to Ken. Shall I mention it before or after he gives his talk? Andrew K. Rindsberg Geological Survey of Alabama
