Fossil Finders
About
Visitors to “Fossil Finders” are encouraged individually to find fossils in the Vulcan Materials fossil pile and learn about the ancient history and life of Tennessee with enthusiastic help from paleontologists. Guided walks to see Fort Negley Park’s rocks are provided, as are free fossil identification guides that can be taken home.
Fossil Finders is held from 10AM to noon the second Saturday of every month. Note, however, that the fossil pile is available when the park is open during daylight hours, with fossil identification guides available whenever the Visitors Center is open.
This program is perfect for fossil enthusiasts of all ages and experience levels. Join a geologist volunteer the second Saturday of each month from 9:30 am to 11:30 am. Email us at [email protected] to reserve your 30-minute time slot. No Fossil Finders in October. Join us for Fossils at the Fort on October 19th.
