Geology of the Texoma Area Presentation

The Sherman Museum Geology of the Texoma Area Presentation

Sherman Texas | July 10, 2016

Rick Lynn, Professor of Geology at Grayson College, will present a special DINO DAYS lecture on Saturday, July 23 at 11:00 am in the downstairs community room at the museum. The topic for the lecture will be the Geology of the Texoma area. The event is free to attend.

Professor Lynn will discuss the geological forces that have made the Texoma we recognize today. He will examine the sediments found in this area, what fossils can be found within them, and their geological age. He will also talk about how the topography of Texoma has changed over the years.

“Nobody knows the geology of this area better than Rick and we are delighted that he will be sharing his knowledge with us,” stated Dan Steelman, Executive Director at the museum. The lecture is free but regular admission rates will apply to those attendees who wish to view the “DINO DAYS” exhibit upstairs. DINO DAYS 3-D movies which are normally held in the community room at that hour will be preempted. The movie schedule will resume after the lecture event.
