Description:

On Sunday, March 7th at 2:00 pm at the Town Hall Richard Little, Geology Professor Emeritus of Greenfield Community College, will present a program entitled “Dinosaurs, Dunes, and Drifting Continents: the Geology of the Connecticut River Valley.” The program will cover 600 million years of geologic history illustrating how the Connecticut Valley Region (including Royalston) evolved into the beautiful rocks and landscapes we see today. Richard will show us where we were before Pangea and how the break-up of this ‘supercontinent” resulted in the Connecticut Valley. With humor and adbundant illustrations, he will tell us about armored mud balls, dinosaurs, lava flows, glaciation, Lake Hitchcock, and our human links to our local geology. This program is generously funded by a grant from the Royalston Cultural Council and sponsored by the Friends of the Phinehas S. Newton Library. Delicious refreshments will be served. For more information contact the library at 978-249-3572.
