Field Trip
Eocene plants & insects, Republic, Washington, USA
Saturday, June 21, 2025
Leader: Georgia Hoffman
Our own Georgia Hoffman, a palaeobotanist, is volunteering to lead our first expedition to Washington State. We will gather in Republic, WA to tour the Stonerose Interpretive Center & Eocene Fossil Site (see www.stonerosefossil.org). The locality entombs an Eocene (49 million year old) fossil ecosystem including flora, fauna and insects that were buried under volcanic ash and sediments within an ancient lake. Along with an interpretive centre tour, we will be able to excavate the shale beds and search for our own fossils! This is a family-friendly venue and should be a great educational experience. Republic is about a 9-hour drive from Calgary. Note the date is subject to change as details are still pending. The fee is $10, plus a fee payable to Stonerose (around $18 USD).
To register for this and any other trips, download and complete the field trip permission form.
Registration deadline is May 30.
