Geology of Story County

FEB 20 2016 10:00 AM

McFarland Park , Story County


Event Summary

Did you know that Ames sits over an earthquake zone? Or that it had mountains as high as the Himalayas? That you could have owned beachfront property 300 million years ago? Story County Conservation and the Central Iowa Mineral Society (CIMS) will expand on these facts in a lecture on central Iowa geology.

Bring any treasures you’ve got at home; after the presentation, CIMS members will be on hand to identify rocks, fossils, artifacts, and minerals until 12:00 p.m.

This program is free -- but registration required by 4:00 p.m. on Thursday, February 18.
