THE BOB CAMPBELL GEOLOGY MUSEUM
Shark Quest!
Join museum curators to search for prehistoric sharks
Join curators from the Campbell Geology museum for a trip 35 million years into the past! We’ll travel to a rich fossil locality in Georgia to collect fossilized shark teeth, turtle and crocodile bones, and maybe even whale teeth or bones. This day trip will be full of history and discovery, and perhaps you’ll find fossils to take home.
Date: Saturday, April 18 (Must preregister by April 14th!)
Time: 8:00am–8:00pm
Fee: $50 ($45 for Geology Museum members & volunteers). Lunch and transportation are provided.
