Folks,
In March, after a long effort spearheaded by the Alabama Paleontological Society (APS), part of the Union Chapel Mine tracksite was dedicated by the Alabama Department of Conservation & Natural Resources as the Steven C. Minkin Paleozoic Footprint Site. The name honors a recently deceased APS member who was among the most helpful in saving the site, which was discovered in December 1999 and has since been the focus of an intensive salvage and research effort by amateurs and professionals (Science, 8 August 2003; Geotimes, October 2003).

Discovering Alabama is a popular local television program put out by the Alabama Museum of Natural History. This show focuses on tetrapod trackways from the Union Chapel Mine (Early Pennsylvanian).
