SUMMARY:OVMC February 2026 Meeting - Fossils of the Ottawa Area
DESCRIPTION:6:00 PM Mineral Identification and Swap Shop \n\n\n\n“Rock Doctor” Clinic: Starts at 6:00\, ends at 6:30 PM. Members are free to bring in a reasonable number of samples or specimens to be identified by the expert mineralogists in the club. This has been a very popular activity for the membership (at times exceeding our capacity to deal with everyone present!). \n\n\n\n“Swap Shop”: Calling all collectors! The OVMC Swap Shop is open for all members (adults and children). Mike and Tara will have several treasures to trade including small crystals\, fossils\, polished rocks and the occasional plastic dino!  Donations towards the Swap collection is appreciated! Local and international samples accepted. No large samples please. \n\n\n\n6:30 PM Meeting \n\n\n\nSpeaker: Jean Dougherty\, Retired Biologist and Geologist and Fossil Expert \n\n\n\nTopic: Fossils of the Ottawa Area \n\n\n\nWe are pleased to announce that Ms. Jean Dougherty will be the presenter at the February 12th meeting of the OVMC and she will be discussing “Fossils of the Ottawa Area”. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJean Dougherty is a retired biologist and geologist who spent her 36 year career with the Geological Survey of Canada.  Her primary role was managing the extensive collections of the GSC\, in particular\, the fossil collections housed in Ottawa.  Dealing with the GSC collections gave her a perspective of the geology both across the country as well as the Ottawa area specifically. Jean will discuss the fossils of the Ottawa area and the geology of their host rocks\, illustrated with specimens from the GSC collection and\, hopefully\, specimens from the collection of the Canadian Museum of Nature as well. If the timing works out\, we may have one or two additional experts on hand to assist in Jean’s presentation and help identify fossils that our members might bring along to the meeting. Hope to see you there! \n\n\n\nWe meet in the Theatre at the Canadian Museum of Nature which is downstairs under the main staircase. No charge for the Museum but if using the Museum parking Lot there is a fee.
