Community Lectures & Workshops

Please join us on Wednesday, October 7th at 7pm for this month’s Fossil Club Meeting. We will be joined by Dr. Stephen Godfrey, Paleontology Curator at the Calvert Marine Museum for a talk on flying reptiles (pterosaurs) and the recent work at the Calvert Marine Museum.

Dr. Godfrey received his B.Sc. in Biology from Bishop’s University (Quebec) and a Ph.D. in paleontology from McGill University (Quebec).  Following a two-year Postdoctoral Fellowship at the University of Toronto (Ontario), he moved to Drumheller, Alberta, the “Dinosaur Capital of Canada,” where he became involved in paleontological exhibit work for museums around the world.

In 1998, Dr. Godfrey became the Curator of Paleontology at the Calvert Marine Museum in Solomons, Maryland where his mandate is to collect, preserve, and interpret fossils from the famous Calvert Cliffs along the Chesapeake Bay.

Monthly meetings feature guest speakers both from within the club and from outside organizations. We also strive to schedule frequent collection trips to various locations.
