Public Afternoons at the Hutchinson Suite

The Richard W. Hutchinson Geoscience Collaborative Suite has a public afternoon at the suite once a month. The next public afternoon is:

Creepy Crawlies!

Saturday, October 26th 2024 from 11am-3pm

On Saturday, October 26th from 11am-3pm, the Richard W. Hutchinson Geoscience Collaborative Suite at Western University (North Campus Building, room 120) will be hosting a public event - Creepy Crawlies! Learn about how life can build rocks and see some fossilized insects!
Our special guest speaker, Dr. Jeremiah Shuster, will be giving a short presentation about how life can build rock formations called stromatolites. Dr. Shuster's presentation will take place at 11:30am, and again at 1:30pm. Please join us for one of these presentations!
 
We will have activities for children recommended for ages 6 and up. As always, this public afternoon at the Richard W. Hutchinson Geoscience Collaborative Suite will also include beautiful exhibitions of rocks, minerals, fossils and meteorites from around the world. We look forward to your visit!
