Time-Traveling 1 Lecture: 60 million years of history, John Boyd Thacher State Park

Saturday, June 22, 2024 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM

The rocks of Thacher Park record a long history of shallow seas, extinct marine life, volcanism and mountain building in New England, and much more. Explore this history between 450 to 390 million years ago with Dr. Chuck Ver Straeten, of the New York State Museum. This talk is followed on Sunday by a hike to see that long and deep history, long before the dinosaurs.
