                      • Mazon Creek Fossil Tour

                        Learn about the environment, ecosystems, and climate of Northern Illinois as it was 300 million years ago by collecting fossil specimens at the Mazon Fossil Beds. You will be led through the most famous fossil site of the Midwest by Dave Dolak, Geologist from Columbia College Chicago. The adventure begins with a hayride to the original site of the discoveries along the Mazon Creek as it was in the mid-1800s and the opportunity to collect the unique concretions such as ferns and horsetails. Bring a bucket, rock hammer, shoes to wear in the creek, and casual clothing. Everyone will have specimens to take home to remember the day. Afterwards, more fun is to be had with cocktails and a barbeque to celebrate your finds.
                        All proceeds will go to the Canal Corridor Association to help preserve I & M Canal history, protect its environment, and create tourism.
