Corn, OKLA. — The Corn Bible Academy seventh and ninth grade students participated in a field trip to the Arbuckle Mountains near Davis, Oklahoma, on Thursday, April 29. Junior high science is taught by Todd Smith, and his wife, Dana Smith, teaches high school biology at the school. The instructors had a full day planned for the 27 students, and the trip was led by the Creation Truth Foundation from Norman.
The day began at the Arbuckle Mountains Observation Area where they observed several geological features and discussed their relation to Noah’s flood. The formation of mountains, continental drift and catastrophe were also discussed. After a picnic lunch at a park in Davis, the group stopped to dig for fossils near the Arbuckle Lake Dam, finding clams, crinoids, and other fossils.
“The final destination for the day was at an area called Crinoid Hill, where the crinoid fossils were so numerous they could be found laying on top of the ground,” remarked Dana Smith, biology instructor.
