This was geology fieldtrip for GLG 225 Invertebrate Paleontology at NAU. The first stop (along Highway 87/260, 3 miles south of Pine at the Control Road junction), is not listed in the hike description. A few brachipods were found (one guy found an awesome Spiriferoid), but mostly it was a vast amount of crinoid material. One of the grad students said he found a shark tooth at this locality previously.

The second stop was at the locality from the hike description. The photos show specimens from both localities, so I have noted in the captions "Pine Locality" if applicable. Hiking data reflects estimates combined from both localities.
