No Age Limit. Hard Hats not required.
We will be collecting Mazon Creek concretions from an old spoil pile on private property. Boots are recommended. An Estwing rock hammer is the best tool. A small shovel or pick is helpful. Knee pads, backpacks, fanny packs, extra clothes (you will get wet and muddy) are also a plus. Bring a bucket for the fossils. Also bring insect repellent.
