Field Trip in History of the Earth

A field trip will be held as a regular part of this course. We will travel by van to several localities in northern New Jersey and possibly eastern Pennsylvania. The excursion will leave at 8:30 am, and will return about 5:00 pm.

The field trip is a course requirement; it is on regardless of weather, unless you hear otherwise from the instructor. In case of very bad weather, we have a museum fieldtrip lined up as a substitute.

We will stop for lunch, or you may bring you own victuals. Wear appropriate field apparel and bring a notebook and pencil. Those who have cameras may wish to supplement their field notes with photographs. Be prepared to collect specimens!

The field trip is a course requirement. If you will not be able to make the date of the field trip, you may wish to consider dropping the course early, planning to take it in a later semester. Otherwise, a term paper or substitute assignment is due in lieu of the field trip for those unable to attend.
