National Fossil Day is on October 11^th, but this year we wanted to have a special Saturday event to celebrate fossils in a big way! We invited paleontologists and visitors to converge at the Museum on November 4^th for a day of fossil exploration.

Quite a few scientists, collectors, and students had displays and activities set up. And fossil experts were on hand to help identify specimens that visitors brought in with them. There were stations set up to explore fossils, from ‘dig sites’ for kids to get hands-on, to table to examine actual fossils under microscopes.

There are more photos posted on our Facebook page. Make sure to sign up for our newsletters so you don’t miss upcoming events like this!
