Throwback Thursday #33: Field Trip Sylvania, OH in 1959

This is Throwback Thursday #33.  In these, we look back into the past at ESCONI specifically and Earth Science in general.  If you have any contributions, (science, pictures, stories, etc …), please sent them to esconi.info@gmail.com.  Thanks!


Sylvania, OH has long been a destination to collect great fossils.  Back in May 2020, we did Fossil Friday #7 that featured brachiopods from Sylvania.  Today, we have some photos from a June 1959 field trip to Sylvania. 

The trip was organized by John Ade and a bunch of ESCONI members traveled by bus on the weekend of June 6th and 7th 1959.  Here is the announcement in the June 1959 newsletter.

And, here is the trip report, which appeared in the July-August 1959 edition of the newsletter.

Here are the photos… looks like they had a great time!
