The Dry Dredgers is an association of amateur
geologists dedicated to the knowledge and enjoyment of fossils. The
association was founded in 1942 and continues to bring together those
interested in the life of prehistoric times. Its aim is to stimulate
interest in geology, to encourage the collection and identification of
fossils, and to participate in field trips and exhibitions. The club is
affiliated with the University of Cincinnati
Geology Department , and annually awards the Paul Sanders Award to
support the study of paleontology.
Members of the Dry Dredgers are individuals of all ages,
backgrounds, and levels of expertise, sharing a common and sincere
interest in fossils. Average yearly membership is about 200 families.
Meetings are held generally at 8 p.m. on the fourth Friday of
every month from September to June. At these meetings, projects are
discussed, field trips planned, lectures presented and fossils
appreciated.
All meetings are held in Room 201 Braunstein Hall on the
University of Cincinnati campus. Field trips take place monthly in the
autumn and spring, usually within 100 miles of Cincinnati.
Membership is open to all interested individuals and families.
Family membership is $10/one year, $18/two years, and $25.00/three. If
