CONGRATULATIONS to long time club member Lawrence Howard!
Mr Howard has just received a great honor from Morehead State University Geologist, Professor Charles Mason . Larry found a very large Ammonoid near Morehead, KY a number of years ago while on a field trip hosted by the Blue Grass Gem and Mineral Club. He said, "I knew it was a very nice one but I didn't realize it was special. I gave it to Charlie for his research. He later told me it was a new species and he was going to name it for me." Introducing to you, Rotopericyclus howardi!
