Bring your own tools: handheld claw rake, trowel, shovel – be sure to label your tools! Bring some sort of protective eye wear (sunglasses or prescription glasses are fine) and a bucket or bag to bring your fossils home!
We’ll be eating a bag lunch there, so pack your own lunch (and don’t forget a drink!).
Wear your Activity Uniforms (T-Shirt).
Cub Scouts are free – additional children are $5 while the cost for adults is $6. Pay at Penn Dixie.
While there, we will also log the Penn Dixie Paleontological Earth Cache. To log this “find”, we’ll need to answer:
- What is the name of the shale member that covers most of the Penn Dixie site?
- Where do trilobites get their name from?
- Impressions of what fossils can be found at Penn Dixie?
- How many signs did you have to look at for these answers in Penn Dixie?
