The Staten Island Geological Society
Geode with Quartz Druse
Quartz Crystal
The Staten Island Geological Society was founded in 1972. The
Society provides a forum for Staten Island residents who are interested in
Geology and science in general. The Society meets on a monthly basis.
Distinguished Guest speakers typically present a Geology oriented presentation
at the monthly meetings. The Society also holds several trips throughout the
year to locations that would interest Geologists (e.g., the Franklin Mine in NJ
and the American Museum of Natural History).
The society meetings are interactive. We provide a forum where everyone can
participate in a presentation, lecture, Show and Tell or simply to expound
their thoughts. Our member's range from school children to distinguished
seniors who are experts in their fields of study and noted residents of Staten
Island.
Members receive a monthly mailing of the GEOEXAMINER. The GEOEXAMINER serves as
the Societies' proceedings, newsletter and calendar.
Several Dinners are held throughout the year to celebrate the Holidays and the
Society in general. Coffee and cakes are served at each meeting.
The Staten Island Geological Society is affiliated with:
Eastern Federation of Mineralogical and Lapidary Societies
American Federation of Mineralogical Societies
We meet the second Friday of the month (September-June) at 7:30 p.m. at the:
Father Hicks Center, St Clare's School
151 Lindenwood Road
Great Kills,
Staten Island, New York
