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 17thNote 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!
