Los Angeles Unearthing Ancient Secrets Fossil Workshop
Mon, Sep 21, 3:00 AMIf you have ever found yourself staring at a rock and wondering if there is something hidden inside, or if you simply appreciate the incredible history buried beneath our feet, this workshop is for you. We are gathering to talk about the fundamentals of fossil hunting, how to identify local specimens, and the ethics of responsible collecting. This is a space for both absolute beginners and those who have spent years scouring the hills to share stories and learn more about the prehistoric life that once inhabited Southern California. We will keep things casual and conversational, focusing on practical tips for getting started and understanding the geological context of our area. You do not need to bring any special equipment, just your curiosity and any questions you might have about the hobby. We are looking forward to meeting fellow enthusiasts and building a community around this shared interest. If you are interested in joining us for this session, please go ahead and RSVP so we can get a sense of how many people to expect.
