Sponsored by the Department of Technology, Culture and
Society, this end-of-the-year party of the New York
Paleontological Society is open to all in the Polytechnic
Community. Come join us for a chance to see and learn about
fossils from around the world - and you get to touch and
handle them.
- Free fossil door prizes
- There will also be free food and beverages.
- There will also be one or two brief talks on fossils,
fossil collecting, and special exhibits (not too technical).
- There will be a "Fossil Information Scavenger Hunt"
game - with a prize.
- Many fossils will be available for purchase at minimal
prices.
- More spectacular specimens will be in a fossil auction at
the end of the event. There will also be books and field
guides for sale at below cost, on topics in natural history,
geology, paleontology, nature and the environment.
- Note, however, you need not purchase anything to enjoy
the party.
If you know some youngsters under 12 years of age, they can
participate in our free young people's auction and other
events for youngsters.
