Hi everyone! My name is Adrienne McElwain, and I’m excited to be a part of the R.O.C.K. community!

At this week’s R.O.C.K. meeting, I had the opportunity to give a presentation on fossils and where scientists have actually found DNA 🧬. Fossils, geology, and the incredible stories rocks can tell about Earth’s history have been a passion of mine for many years, so I’m always excited to share what I learn with others!

I’m also now helping manage the R.O.C.K. page, so I’d love to help keep everyone informed and connected. If you have club news, upcoming events, interesting finds, educational information, photos, or anything else you think our members would enjoy seeing here, please feel free to reach out to me!

I’m looking forward to getting to know more of you and helping make this page a fun place for our rock, fossil, and geology community. 🪨🦴💎
