About the event
We will be meeting at the Machine Shed parking lot at 9:30 AM with a planned departure at 10:00 AM. Please bring a boxed lunch and non-alcoholic drinks. We will do a rest stop at Tipton, IA.
A site to visit at Coralville Lake is the Devonian Fossil Gorge.
Imagine walking on a 375 million year old ocean floor! This glimpse into Iowa’s geologic past was first exposed during the Floods of 1993 at Coralville Lake, then further exposed during the Floods of 2008. The fossils and limestone bedrock of the Devonian Fossil Gorge date back almost 200 million years before the dinosaurs!
