Cambridge Natural History Society talk - The wonderful world of rocks, minerals and fossils
Thu 5 March 2020
David Attenborough Building
Mal Faloon, who runs the stall on Cambridge market specialising in rocks and minerals, is fascinated by all things geological and would like to share her enthusiasm with you. She will bring samples of collectable items to interact with and will talk about how they are formed and where they are found. She says “attendees are invited to bring items from their own collections, either for identification or bragging rights”.
Cambridge Natural History Society was founded in 1857 and is open to everyone interested in any aspect of natural history: palaeontology, conservation, entomology, ecology, zoology, geology, botany and more. As well as talks we do field studies - an opportunity to hone your ID skills - and have social events and an annual exhibition, our NatHistFest or Conversazione. Our patron is Dafila Scott and we are also proud to have numbered Sir David Attenborough among our members.
