ETSU Geosciences Club

Come join our meeting tomorrow (11/14) at 4:30 in Ross Hall 217 to see some amazing collections from students of rocks, fossils, and whatever else they want to show off!

Halloween party was a success! Despite the semester getting busier, sometimes it's nice to hang out and relax now and again with food, costumes, a movie, and games.

One reason why we have the Geoscience department at ETSU is because of the Gray Fossil Site. It's such a wonderful opportunity to have this nearby and be able to take tours and learn about our area's paleontological history. We also want to thank David Moscato, a former ETSU grad student, for giving our club an fantastic tour of the place.

If you ever get the chance, you should visit the site! ETSU students get in for free with their ID.

First day of club is a success!
