Registration Closed – Free Beginner Fossil Walk – Class Full

Registration Closed

Curious about fossil hunting? Whether you’re a beginner or experienced, this event is perfect for discovering amazing fossils!

What to Expect:

• Location: We’ll be exploring a fantastic spot known for its rich fossil finds, including the Maryland State Fossil, the Ecphora shell. We will send you the beach address once you complete your registration. It’s within 15 minutes of the FB event location!
• Terrain: Expect a 1-2 mile walk, including walking in the surf where the footing can be unstable or slippery. There’s a short but steep path from the parking lot to the beach, so be prepared for some uneven terrain.
• Sifting: While you can try sifting for fossils, it generally yields fewer finds compared to hunting directly in the surf. Sifters will be available if you’d like to use one.

Family Friendly:

• Age Recommendations: Kids of all ages are welcome! However, children under five might not find it as enjoyable. If possible, consider leaving very young kids at home, but we understand if they need to come along.

Details You’ll Need:

• Park Fee: The location has a $10 entrance fee per person (cash only). Kids age 5 and younger are free.
• What to Wear: October 6 can be cool, with temperatures from the mid-60s to low-70s °F. Wear layers and consider wearing waders to stay comfortable in the surf. If rain is expected, bring a poncho. Find essential gear recommendations here.
• Weather: The event is rain or shine, but extreme weather may cause cancellation.
