Check out a dinosaur femur
at the Fossil Fair this weekend
s many as 1,200 amateur
paleontologists are
expected to turn up to see
ancient fossils of animals
and plants from as long ago as
550 million years at the Victoria
Palaeontology Society’s Fossil
Fair this weekend.
The fair, in its 19th year, is an
opportunity to see a rich and
diverse collection of fossils found
on Vancouver Island, other parts
of British Columbia and other
areas.
“There is something for everyone,” said Tom Cockburn, chairman of the society, which was created in 1995.
“The large dinosaur femur is
always popular, but we also have
fossils that can only be seen
under a microscope.”
The fair features fossils of
animals and plants from the
Cambrian (550 million years ago)
to the end of the last Ice Age
(10,000 years ago). On display
will be dinosaur bones,
ammonites, trilobites, corals,
mollusks, insects, giant palm
leaves and microscopic plants
and animals.
The public is invited to bring
in fossils for identification.
“We usually get people bringing in items they are convinced
are fossils — but are actually
rocks with interesting shapes,”
Cockburn said. “We call these
pseudo-fossils and they can be
visually fascinating.”
Children can take part in a
fossil scavenger hunt with prizes,
fossil colouring, rubbings and
stampings, and the opportunity to
look through microscopes.
The Victoria Palaeontology
Society co-operates with
professional paleontologists,
forwarding information on some
of the scientific contributions
made by members, such as
the discovery and naming of new
species. All scientifically
important fossils are donated
to the Royal British Columbia
Museum.
Admission is by donation. The
event runs 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday at the Swan Lake
Christmas Hill Nature Sanctuary,
3873 Swan Lake Rd. Details at
vicpalaeo.org.
A

Show off your fancy words

helps youngsters from
six to nine catch up on
literacy skills on the summer break, and the Sooke
Region Literacy Task
Group’s book-buying program for young readers.
Players can register
in casual or competitive
categories.
Admission is $10 for
players with a $2 suggested donation for
spectators. The event runs
from 1-5 p.m. Saturday at

School, 6218 Sooke Rd.
