March 2013 CFMS Field Trip

If you are interested in this field trip, contact Robert Sankovich right away to reserve your space and get directions. e-mail: rmsorca@adelphia.net

Our March field trip will be to the Shark Tooth Hill, Ernst Quarries, near Bakersfield California.

This is a special field trip, I contacted Rob Ernst and we set up the date, there will only be members from our clubs and the CFMS, no general public will be there. We will have a full day of digging from 8am-4pm. Rob Ernst gave us a cost of $50 dollars per person, we got a deal! We can't have more than 50 rock hounds attending so this is a first come first served trip. The first 50 people who contact Robert Sankovich to attend will be the ones going. When you arrive there will be two documents for those attending to fill out and sign. These will be the rules and waiver documents. Bring the $50 in cash to be paid to Rob Ernst. Come out for a fun day of digging for shark teeth fossils. The weather should be nice & cool. The dig site is a walk of 500 yards over semi flat ground, then up a hill 100 yards. This time of the year there is always the chance of rain, bring the necessary clothing. If it is raining, we won’t be digging.
When: March 24th 2013 Sunday 8am-4pm
