Calgary Science Network - Rock 'N" Fossil Show
Calgary Science Network, together in partnership with the Geological Survey of
Canada, SciQ (www.sciq.ca), and the Calgary Public Library, presents
“The Rock ‘N’ Fossil Show”. Join us on Saturday, April 5, for a hands-on event as some
of Alberta’s leading geologists and paleontologists examine rock and fossil collections.
Admission is free and members of the public are encouraged to bring along any rock or
fossil specimens they wish to have evaluated first-hand … the specimens may well turn out
to be an extinct species, a valuable specimen, or even a dinosaur bone!
