John Merck of the University of Maryland will provide an overview of the evolutionary history of perhaps the planet’s most beloved reptile, the turtle — “very tough nuts for cladists to crack,” according to John.
This meeting of the NHSM Fossil Club will take place in person at 6908 Belair Rd. Please email the club coordinator (mfalk@marylandnature.org) with any questions.
NHSM’s Fossil Club is a group of novice and more experienced collectors who meet to share knowledge and discuss fossil identification, fossil locations, and other fossil-related topics. Monthly meetings feature guest speakers both from within the club and from outside organizations. We also strive to schedule frequent collecting trips to various locations.
Although you don’t need to be a member to attend a meeting, membership gives you access to additional experiences. An annual NHSM membership is $35 for individuals, $50 for families; Fossil Club membership is an additional $5 for individuals and $10 for families.
