Becker's Collection of Fossils Enemies on Fossils
Enemies attach to fossils in Becker’s collection, from crinoid bases to blastoids. Parasites include bryozoans corals and shell-boring organisms that cling to shells and cause damage. Some clusters resemble shells stuck together while others appear as tiny decorations on the fossil surface. Dr. and Mrs. L. L. Carr visited McGregor for a Clayton county physicians gathering with a river boat ride and fish dinner for about fifty attendees.
