                                                                        Red Hill Fossil Area

                  Hyner, PA

          

 

 

October 17, 2009, Saturday: Red Hill, Hyner, Clinton Co., PA.  DMS and DVPS members will visit the Red Hill Field Station in the vicinity of North Bend about 30 miles north of Lockhaven, PA.  Red Hill is one of the premier sites in the world in terms of early plant and vertebrate fossil remains.  Fossils found at this site are Devonian in age 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 go to the Red Hill website www.devoniantimes.org/ Note: Red Hill site is a VERY steep outcrop along the shoulder of a moderately travelled roadway, and footing is somewhat precarious.  Children must be at least 13 years old and supervised by an adult at all times in order to collect here.  Scientifically significant specimens may be retained by curators for the Academy of Natural Science collection.  Although this is about a 4-hour drive from Wilmington, I personally think it is well worth the drive!  We will meet at Red Hill at 10:30 AM.  Please sign up for the trip by October 14th

Please sign up for the trip by April 22nd.  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!
