Participants should be prepared to get wet and muddy as we wade through shallow streams to collect sharks teeth and other marine fossils from streambed gravel deposits. A total of 30 spaces available – $35/person *All participants age 17 and under must be accompanied by an adult for all summer programs. Buy your ticket in the online store.
