About the event
Dig for Fossils at Coon Creek Fossil Site! The field trip consists of about 20 minutes of education about why we have ocean fossils in West Tennessee and why they are world-famous. We then go to the creek for about an hour and a half of digging fossils, followed by a session on cleaning and preserving what you find. The program usually lasts about 3 hours in total.
**This event is about 2.5 hours from Nashville, but it is worth the drive. Please make sure you are able to make the drive that far before registering.**
We have one field trip coordinator ticket available. If you register as the field trip coordinator, you will be responsible for greeting group members as they arrive, checking attendance, and interfacing the the venue staff as the group leader. SENHE will provide you with details ahead of the event. Field Trip Coordinators get free admission. :)
