Education and Research
Support
The NCFC financially supports fossil related projects at North
Carolina state museums and colleges, similar programs at other
museums and also student research. In addition to our educational
publications, club members lead student field trips
to local quarries and make presentations at elementary and secondary
schools. Members also regularly present fossil programs to scouting
and civic groups and the club provides fossil displays and speakers
at the annual Aurora Fossil Festival and other similar events.
