The Earth Science Department, in conjunction with BMC Aggregates, is holding the 15th Annual Sunday at the Raymond Quarry in Waterloo. This event is a chance for the public to get an up-close look at what the inside of a quarry looks like and to learn more about the earth sciences.
Attendees will have the opportunity to visit the working face of the quarry, be led on geology tours and visit presentations from area organizations including the Iowa Geological Survey Programs and Publications, the Iowa Flood Center Programs, the Black Hawk Soil and Water District Programs for the Rural and Urban Sectors and the U.S. Geological Survey Programs. Participants will also have the opportunity to collect mineral, rock and fossil samples from the site to take home.
