South Jersey’s Dinosaur History and the Edelman Fossil Park & Museum for Adults

Join us for an engaging presentation that takes you behind the scenes of the creation of the Jean & Ric Edelman Fossil Park & Museum in Mantua and explores why South Jersey holds a remarkable place in paleontological history. Discover how this world-class museum was built on one of America's most significant fossil sites, where scientists have uncovered evidence of life from the final moments of the dinosaurs during the Cretaceous period 66 million years ago. This talk will highlight the region's unique geology, groundbreaking discoveries, and the vision that transformed a former quarry into a community hub, sharing the rise and fall of dinosaurs to educate people about the climate and biodiversity crises. All adults are welcome to join us for this presentation.
