X-35 - Nature Discovery - Fossil Hunters

Thousands of fossils lay on the shores of Big Walnut Creek at McCloud Nature Park! Though we are unlikely to find a T-Rex skull, we will search for Paleozoic marine fossils, like crinoids and corals, and learn how to identify them. Our Naturalists will talk you through the ancient history of our land.
