Fossilfest 2010

February 13th, 2010

Recent discoveries in Oregon’s geologic and fossil record and a book-signing event will be featured at the Hatfield Marine Science Center’s annual Fossil Fest scheduled for February 13, 2010.  Elizabeth and William Orr, who have just completed revisions of two books on Oregon geology and paleontology, will not only be on hand to sign the second edition of their book Oregon Fossils, but will review what’s new in the world of geology and paleontology and how these new discoveries relate to and impact fossils. For example, geologists have just this year discovered a reasonable source for the volcanic ash of the John Day formation.  Mark your calendars now to come learn about this and more!
