Paleonet: International Fossil Day is in October--Have fun with fossils!

[Jere LIPPS]

International Fossil Day, in partnership with  the US National Fossil
Day, will be on or about October 11 this year.  Institutes,
universities, museums, companies, schools, and individuals in many
countries celebrate these events with lectures, festivals, open
houses, posters, contests, demonstrations, special exhibits, etc. Show
off your national, state or province official fossil.   Participants:
be imaginative and creative in the way you celebrate.

The celebrations can take place anytime in October depending on local
timing and conditions.  Join in and let your world know the fun and
importance of fossils.
