Description

Join us for our first class to explore the perfect pectens that can be found on Amelia Island's beaches!   Cheryl Wilson will show you her pecten collection and wants to see yours!  We'll talk about:

  • Cheryl's pecten ID journey
  • The pectens that can be found on Amelia Island
  • Holotypes (best exemplar of the species) and how to tell species apart
  • The scientific name debate
  • Best places to find them (shh!  keep it secret!)
  • ID session where Cheryl will help people ID their specimens
  • Photo session

At the end of the class, we'll all vote on our favorite pecten; Courtney of Sterling Seven Studio will paint the winning pecten, and it's owner will receive the painting as a prize.  The illustration could end up on Fernandina Fossils products including posters and prints.
