Upcoming events: Paleontology Edition – March 14th
Unearth the mysteries of the past and unleash your inner paleontologist! Meet Curator of Natural History Matthew Gibson and learn more about the Museum’s extensive fossil collection. Get hands-on with real fossils as Gibson teaches you how to clean and date fossils from sediment samples. Participants will also learn how to create a fossil cast and fossil imprint to take home. Guests are invited to bring their own fossil finds to have them identified by the curator.
