FOSSIL TRIPS
Picture
A plate of trilobites (Pseudogygites Latimarginatus) found on a Creation Research fossil trip.
Come on a fossil finding field trip with Geologist John Mackay,  International Director of Creation Research or Martin Legemaate, Ontario Museum Curator.

Join us and collect the rock solid facts on creation. These guided activities will help you see the evidence of 

God's handiwork as Creator, and his awesome power as judge of the earth.

You will learn how to look for evidence of Creation and Catastrophe/Noah's Flood and discover exciting things

 about the rapid formation of rocks. You'll get some great rock/fossil specimens and enjoy a fantastic day out.
(Most trips are for ages 10 and up. Group size from 25 to 45 people)

You organize the group and we’ll organize the rocks! 
Contact Martin Legemaate for more information at:

Below are some of the Ontario fossil collecting areas we visit.

Niagara Gorge Field Trip


Charles Lyell called "The Father of Modern Geology" visited Niagara falls in 1841.
He surmised that the gorge was cut by the falls over a period of  35'000 years.
Was his conclusion accurate? What was his main motive in his geological studies?
You’ve seen potholes in roads but what is a naturally forming pothole? Find out this and more on this very informative trip.

   Arkona/Hungry Hollow (Sarnia area)


This site has the best preserved fossils in Southern Ontario. Find out why this points
 to a watery catastrophe such as Noah's Flood. Visit a small fossil museum and see  
 that the text book theory of evolution and hands on evidence don't match up.

FOSSIL TRIP FEEDBACK
Thank you for the effort you put into the field trip last Saturday. It was a memorable experience and I'm sure
will be very beneficial in
 helping me to think things through as I continue in my writing career. God bless,
Marianne Foscarini, Markham Ontario.

I can't say how much this stuff Rrrrocks...! literally... really great stuff for evangelism. Looks like kids these days are growing up being taught about dinosaurs everywhere and this is a great opportunity to catch their interest in our Creator and Redeemer God.

This Creation Research stuff is really a gem - thanks for introducing me to it!!.
Michael Chai, Oak Ridges Ontario.
