“Reading Nature’s Atomic Clock: The Science of Geochronology” will be presented by Christopher Stefano Ph.D., associate curator, A.E. Seaman Mineral Museum at Michigan Technological University.

Stefano’s presentation will explain how the age of rocks and other earth materials can be determined. His presentation is aimed at making this technical subject less opaque to an amateur rock or mineral enthusiast.
