DINOSAURS ROCK(R) Reinvents Summer Family Travel with Fossil Dig and Gemstone Hunt in Utah, June 27-29
MONTEBELLO, N.Y., April 20 /PRNewswire/ -- DINOSAURS ROCK(R), the premiere fossil and mineral education company, is conducting its second 3-day Family Fossil Dig and Gemstone Hunt in Central Utah, Sunday-Tuesday, June 27th-29th, 2010. This private tour with Neil Brown and Leslie Freund, DINOSAURS ROCK husband and wife co-founders, plus expert local geologists, is a unique opportunity to have participants find and take home real Dinosaur Bone, Trilobites, Topaz and Geodes, while learning about paleontology, mineralogy and geology.
"Many of our school show and birthday party clients over our 10-year history have expressed the desire to take their kids on a real Fossil Dig. We ran our debut dig in '08. It was so much fun that we're doing it again. It's summer family travel that's educational, for kids 5-15," said Neil Brown, co-founder of DINOSAURS ROCK, the NY-based educational events company. "Unlike super-expensive university digs, everyone is guaranteed to find real specimens," added Brown.
Current itinerary includes a prehistoric journey to dig for 65-million-year-old Dinosaur Bone, Trilobite (500-million-year-old sea bugs) Excavation from a shale quarry, a Topaz Gemstone Hunt and excavating dazzling crystal-filled Dugway Geodes. Other possible finds include agates, jasper, brachiopods (fossil clams) and ammonites.
The tour includes three days of informational talks, fun DINOSAURS ROCK fossil and mineral raffles and giveaways, and guided tours with fossil and mineral experts on privately owned land where hands-on exploration takes place through fossil digs and gemstone hunts, plus daily picnic boxed lunches. Each participant is guaranteed to find lots of valuable genuine take-home fossils and minerals. A giant box of each family's fossil and mineral finds gets shipped home.
