| 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. General
admission: $6 adults $5 children (children 12 & under
) Member are free. |
