The Burlington Gem and Mineral Club will be holding its monthly meetings remotely until further notice due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Our next meeting will be held on Thursday, June 24, 2021 at 7:00 PM using the Google Meet platform. Club member Steve Howe will give a presentation on "Fossil Identification." The presentation will emphasize the morphological characteristics that help distinguish fossil invertebrate animals in ten different phyla. Steve will highlight numerous examples of fossils from New York and Vermont throughout the presentation.
The Club has scheduled several members-only collecting trips for the 2021 season so far and more are anticipated to be scheduled. Trips are announced through email messages to Club members and are also noted on this Calendar page.
