Through the generosity of the late Dr. Shya Chitaley, the North Coast Fossil Club is proud to sponsor its annual Plant Fossil Competition.
The Gerling-Reich competition is open to any self-collected plant fossil not previously displayed. All members are encouraged to participate by bringing their best plant fossils to the February, 2026 meeting. Members displaying plant fossil collections will be asked to designate a single plant fossil for the competition.
By a vote of the members present, a first and second place winner will be determined and will be presented the Gerling-Reich Award which is a monetary prize. Only one monetary prize per member will be awarded.
No purchased fossils are eligible for this competition.
Events scheduled to take place at this meeting will include:
1. Featured Speaker: Our featured speaker will be Dr. Karla Hubbard from Oberlin Colege.
The title of her presentation will be: “The afterlife of clams: it's a boring story“.
