Although the fossils of the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal are no longer accessible for collecting, the material already collected has much to tell us. Join NHSM Fossil Club member Heather Siple as she discusses some of the mysteries unfolding within a collection donated to the Delaware Museum of Nature and Science.

Heather will present findings published in her recent peer-reviewed paper, “Homsey Collection Provides New Insight and New Questions About Multiple Little-Understood Species of Cretaceous Gastropods.” You can view the paper here:

Natural History Society of Maryland’s Fossil Club is a group of novice and more experienced collectors who 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 and are open to all, although non-members are asked to donate $5. If you are a fossil enthusiast, please consider joining (https://www.marylandnature.org/club-membership/). NHSM membership is $35 for individuals, $50 for families. 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. Learn more about NHSM Clubs: https://youtu.be/pIA7naRjXws
