SUMMARY:Story in the Rocks: Let's Talk Fossils
DESCRIPTION:This is a drop-in interpretive program. \n\n\n\nWe will be exploring fossil evidence in the rocks found at Newport. Newport is a great place to find Silurian-era fossils\, such as honeycomb coral\, brachiopods\, and crinoids\, which are remnants of a shallow tropical sea that once covered the area over 400 million years ago. (Wisconsin was located then at 20 degrees South latitude\, below the equator.)  \n\n\n\nMeet at the office building\, Lot 1. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAll programs are free\, but a state park admission sticker is required on all vehicles. Some programs are weather related\, so check with the park if you have any questions. \n\n\n\nNewport State Park\, 475 County Road NP\, Ellison Bay\, WI 54210 Ph. 920-854-2500
