Description:
We will meet in Alton Baker Park by the restrooms, tour the Nobel Peace prize exhibit and then see a few of the Talking Stones on our walk to the UO. The focus of this trip is the Museum of Natural and Cultural History Condon Collection of Fossils. We will visit the lab where fossil collections from the field are analyzed and identified and also see the vault where rare fossils of ancient plants and animals of Oregon are stored. There are huge mastodon teeth as well as imprints of palm trees and tree ferns. Professor Greg Retallack will lead the museum tour. We will be joined by some Native Plant Society members.
