As we are waiting for warmer weather to come, we have a few more months to go before we head into collecting weather. Hopefully, we can also have some more interactive time at our Fourth Thursday of the month meetings (remember to meet us in the back room of the senior center at 7pm). On March 28th, it would be wonderful to have our members and guests share some of their favorite subjects related to our hobby. Therefore, we would like to encourage all to bring a favorite book or magazine in with them, or even just a website tip that you might like to share with the group so that we can learn more about each other and help us focus on favored topics for presentational meetings.
Our next presentation meeting for April 11th, will be a discussion on Ammonite Fossils given by Greg Carr. His specialties are on the subjects of fossils, fossil preparation and meteorites. You may remember hearing him talk to us in the past, about his discovery and work on the Oregon Thalattosaur. He will be bringing some of his collection and we may also learn about fossil localities for Ammonites in Oregon.
Our presentation for May 9th will be about the historic Missoula Floods through the Columbia River Gorge, given by Jim Urbaniak. Which is a highly praised talk about the fascinating geologic event which shaped our area into what it is today.
