| Geology students trip on big rocks | Nine students in Mike Phillip's
Historical Geology class took a field trip to Dixon Springs in southern Ilinois from April
7 to April 10. During their stay, the students had the chance to examine the rocks they have been discussing in class. They looked for faults and fossils while gaining a better understanding of what Illinois used to look like. On April 9, the students met Joe Devera, a geologist for the state of Illinois -- who is also a former IVCC student. The students and Devera visited Heron Pound State Natural area and Cyprus Swamp. The end of the trip came with a tour of the geological department at Southern Illinois University in Carbondale. |
