How Fossils are Preserved – Meet the Paleontologist

There are different types of fossil preservation.  Jam and pickling works for fruit and vegetables, but not fossils!  Quartz, calcite, pyrite and carbon are common and many examples will be shown.  State Park interpretive naturalist Alan Goldstein will pull fossils from the park collections.  This is a free program that will meet in the picnic area or the Interpretive Center Rotunda if there is inclement weather.
