Ordinary and Unusual Rocks Found in CT

 

At Milford Library on Wednesday, March 29 at 7:00 PM, Art Doyle and Bob Daniels, of the New Haven Mineral Club, will be presenting a talk on the rich geological history of Connecticut. The presentation will focus on the formation of minerals and fossils in our state.

            230 million years ago, Connecticut was connected to Africa, and early dinosaurs roamed our state.   Volcanic activity was forming West Rock, East Rock, Sleeping Giant, and the Higby Mountain range. 

The discussion will include examples of mineral specimens and fossils that can be found in various  localities throughout Connecticut.  Doyle and Daniels will also discuss an upcoming field trip to Case Quarry in Portland, Connecticut.   Please call Bob Daniels at (203) 876-1192  or e-mail him at earth06461@gmail.com with any inquiries.
