Fieldtrip: MacAbee Fossils

Date Posted: September 19, 2006

The British Columbia Lapidary Society will be hosting a fieldtrip to to the MacAbee fossils. This is a fee-dig for Fossils in a hard clay. Often found are leaves, occasionally insects, and rarely a fish will be found. This location is between Cache Creek and Savona.

The fee is fixed for a group, so the cost per person will depend upon the number of people. Likely in the range of $20-30. Tools for this trip are the usual rock hammer, plus a putty knife for splitting the layers of clay. Bring something to wrap your specimens, such as kraft paper (leave newspaper at home...the ink on newspaper can rub off onto your specimens)

Date: September 24, 2006

Meeting Place: The Husky Parking lot in Cache Creek at 10:30AM.

Leader/Contact: Gordon Pinder, 604-870-4779
