Presentation by Russell Ball at General Meeting

During our February General Meeting, Russell Ball from Comox Valley Fossil Adventures shared his enthusiasm for fossil finding in the Comox Valley. In January 2021, Russell and colleagues from the Vancouver Island Paleontological Society discovered an ancient fossilized sea turtle - believed to be 84 million years old - along the Puntledge River.

Russell discussed and displayed several fossils found along the river and stream banks throughout the Valley, on nearby Hornby Island, and around Campbell River. Fascinating stuff!
