Texas A&M Forest Service Nature Challenge
San Antonian Rock & Fossil Exhibition
Come explore and celebrate a collection of Rocks and Fossils from central Texas as we host a special exhibition for two weeks! This special exhibition was collected and curated by Mr. Jesus Zamora. Born in Matamoros, Tamaulipas, Mr. Zamora admired and collected seashells on the beach as a child. On a hike as an adult, a chance discovery of a fossil within a rock reignited his curiosity. When he moved to San Antonio and explored the creeks, he began to use his knowledge as an engineer and geology enthusiast to learn more about the fossils of the greater San Antonio and Hill Country area.
Join us for our opening celebration on 1/4 at which Mr. Zamora will provide a special presentation talking about his collection and it's fascinating story at 11am. Light refreshments provided.
This Exhibition will be on display in our Urban Ecology Center's Gathering Hall starting on Saturday January 4th and be accessible through Saturday, January 18th. For open viewing hours and related activities, please see our full calendar and slate of programs.
