Public Afternoons at the Hutchinson Suite

The Richard W. Hutchinson Geoscience Collaborative Suite has a public afternoon at the suite once a month. The next public afternoon is:

Fancy Fossils

Saturday, August 23rd, 2025

On Saturday, August 23rd from 11am-3pm, the Richard W. Hutchinson Geoscience Collaborative Suite at Western University (North Campus Building room 120) will be hosting a public event – Fancy Fossils! Join us for a talk from Dr. Cam Tsujita about “The Mysterious Lives of Ammonites” at 11:30am and 1:30pm. You can also practice your paleontology skills and excavate your own 3D printed fossil! We will be displaying fossils from our collections alongside ammonites from our newest donation.

As always, this public afternoon at the Richard W. Hutchinson Geoscience Collaborative Suite will also include beautiful exhibitions of rocks, minerals, fossils and meteorites from around the world. Please use caution when taking your pictures as some people may not want to be included in your photos. We look forward to your visit!
