Geology Rocks! “What’s on the Other side of the Mountain?”

In-person event with Zoom option available. Free. In partnership with Franklin Co. Rock & Mineral Club. Geologist Jeri Jones discusses rocks, topography and mineral resources east of South Mountain. The PowerPoint program covers the geology of Adams and York counties and is an introduction to The Institute’s geology field trip on May 6. The rocks east of South Mountain are both older and younger than those in the Waynesboro area and span 300 million years in geologic time. The oldest complex marine animal—the trilobite—and the most famous fossil animal class—dinosaurs—are found only a few miles apart. Door prizes and free rock and mineral samples. Questions welcome.
