Penn Dixie Paleontological & Outdoor Education Center
_______________________________________________________________________

At Penn Dixie, you can walk on the site of a former quarry operation that was once the source of calcareous shale excavated and used for cement aggregate by the Penn Dixie Cement Company.

During the 1960's, 9 to 10 feet of shale was removed revealing 380 million year old Devonian era fossils preserved within the Windom Shale.

You will be digging into the shale at the northern end of the site. A small digging tool and pail along with an identification card are all you will need to carry with you today.
