April 19, 2008, Saturday:
Red Hill,
Hyner, Clinton Co., PA.
(10:30AM+):
DMS and DVPS
members will visit the Red Hill site in the vicinity of Hyner
about 30 miles north of Lockhaven, PA. Fossils found at this
site are Devonian in and include vertebrate (shark, fish, and
amphibian) material and plant fossils from Red Hill. Fossil
collection is by hammer and chisel almost exclusively. For more
information about Red Hill see the following website:
http://www.devoniantimes.org/.
Please sign up for the trip by April 17th.
Note the Red Hill site is a VERY steep outcrop, and footing can
be somewhat precarious. Because of this, young children under
the age of 13 will not be allowed to collect there.
This is about a 4-hour drive from Delaware.
However,
Red Hill is one of the premier sites in the world in terms of
early plant and vertebrate fossil remains and I personally think
it is well worth the drive!
