kittle Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 We are getting ready to work on the Geologist pin. I have figured out what I would like to do with the boys, but I have one problem. The last requirement says to find 2 examples of fossils in your area. I have no idea where to start looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutNut Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 Contact your local Conservation district, nature center or DNR office. They should be able to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torveaux Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 Are there any quarries or mines in your area? Layering is very cool when viewed on a large scale like that. Most quarries and mines run across some sort of fossils as they dig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kittle Posted April 19, 2005 Author Share Posted April 19, 2005 I hadn't thought about calling the DNR. The closest college that might have a Geology department is about 85 miles. No quarries in the area, but there is a mine. I will call them tommorrow and see if they can help. My only problem with the reguirement is that is says to find 2 examples of fossils in your area. I take that to mean that the boys are supposed to find the fossil, not just see them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
