PORT ANGELES — John Cornish, a lifelong seeker of fossils and crystals around the world, will give a talk on mining in Tasmania and Australia at The Landing mall at 6:30 this Friday evening.
Admission is $5 at the door of the upstairs conference room at The Landing, 115 E. Railroad Ave.
Cornish is known for his unearthing of a significant whale fossil outside Port Angeles in August 1993.
The paleontological specimen is on display in the “Hot Times” gallery at the Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture in Seattle.
Randolf Frederick Co., the art studio in The Landing, is the host of Friday’s event.
If attendance is good, owner Randy Frederick said, he’ll have Cornish back to talk about fossils of the local area.
For more information, phone Frederick at 360-797-1225 or visit his shop on the second floor of The Landing.
