The Morocco Expedition- 2005From January 15th through February 3rd, 2005, I took a trip to Morocco with
my field partner Maia Schwiezer. The purpose of this trip, other than to add
another continent and country to our list, was to collect field samples for my
senior thesis. The topic of my senior thesis is on trilobite paleo-environments
from the Anti-Atlas mountain regions. This area is the source of the
extraordinary large well-preserved trilobite fossils that have been flooding
global fossil markets. My senior thesis intends to find out why this area is so
productive. Here are the pictures from the trip.
