Vertebrates (animals with backbones) evolved in the sea and eventually moved onto land. Early ancestors of the ocean’s biggest animals once walked on land then later returned to the sea, taking advantage of its rich food supplies. Join curious fossil hunter, Tom Piscitelli to learn more about this incredible journey from sea to land and back again through fossil teeth, vertebrae and ear bones. This presentation is offered in person – come and see and touch the fossils and online.
Natural History Society of Maryland’s Fossil Club is a group of novice and more experienced collectors will meet to exchange knowledge and help with fossil identification, discuss fossil locations, as well as other fossil related topics. Monthly meetings are held the first Wednesday of every month at the Natural History Society of Maryland. Due to COVID, NHSM is opening up this club meeting to all. Non-members are asked to donate $5. If you are a fossil enthusiast, please consider joining (https://www.marylandnature.org/club-membership/). The Natural History Society of Maryland is a volunteer-led non-profit organization, so the fee you pay will go directly to support the programs, the nature collections, and the building that make this kind of nature education possible
