Note that the time change is only for the Sept. 11, 2010 meeting!

This month's featured speaker will be Dr. Mark Wilson, the Lewis M. and Marian Senter Nixon Professor of Natural Sciences and Professor of Geology from The College of Wooster Geology Department. The title of his talk will be "The Mystery of Hederelloids (yes-Google the name now!) and How the North Coast Fossil Club can help solve it".

Collector's Corner: Bring your Bryozoan Fossils for showing others and sharing information.

Geologic Epoch Talk: This month's geologic epoch talk will be presented by Sharon Schneider who will speak about the Pleistocene.

Raffle: Thanks again to Tony Verdi for donating fossils and fossil related items which were raffled off in August. Through the years, Tony has greatly contributed to the financial well being of the NCFC by generously donating things for our raffles.

Also, thanks to Beth Krumhansl for donating shirts and cloth bags for the raffle. These prizes were extra special because Beth put in a lot of time and effort in silk screening the NCFC Logo on each shirt and bag.
