Northern Michigan Geology

Explore the formation of the northern Michigan landscape through a classroom, lab, and field trip experience. Guided by NMC Geology Instructor, Robb Houston, learn about the Paleozoic rock layers, their fossils, and the relationship of rock layers to more recent geologic processes. A half-day in the lab provides core information for a full day of discovery visiting geologic sites. The field trip involves walking up to a mile in wooded terrain. Meet at the classroom both days. Transportation and picnic box lunch are included.
