 Wes
Gordon and his boy paleontologists were noted throughout the United
States in the 1940’s. A band of boys ranging in age from 7 to 13
unearthed one of the best preserved fossil sites in North America.
Fossils from the Irvington District created such an international event,
that a section of time was honored as the Irvingtonian Stage (1.8-.3
million years ago).
This collection is currently
managed by the Math Science Nucleus, a non profit organization, so
young students in the San Francisco Bay area can enjoy and learn form the
collection. We will be unveiling plans for a new museum at our present
site so we can keep this collection and other science exhibits for the
public to enjoy.
Please join us
for dinner to meet the boy paleontologist and help fund raise for the
discover the geologic history of Fremont.

$75 per

- Proceeds
from this event will go for several much needed improvements
to the museum.
- Expansion of 1500 square foot
to include how the Hayward Fault helped unearth the fossils while
contributing to the large mammal extinction.
- Redoing our entrance to allow
more students to come at one time.
- Refurnish our
classroom/laboratory room.
- New Exhibits.
- Help fund a 13 foot replica of a
Columbian mammoth which will become not only a landmark, but
educational tool. The metal structure will cost about $12,000 and
will be similar to the Wooly Mammoth above.
