At 10:00 a.m., participants are dropped off at Cove Point Lighthouse, where they meet CMM educators.  The program leader teaches a short lesson on local Miocene fossils and what to look for. From 10:00 a.m. to about 11:30 a.m., you explore the beach to search for fossilized shells, bones, and sharks' teeth. After fossil collecting you work with the museum educators to identify any fossils you have found. The program ends at 12:00 p.m.
