For our Decade of Discovery we’re rebooting our popular Science Pub- with a twist!

Then get a chance to flex your skills in Paleontology Pub Trivia to win your own Megalodon tooth. Trivia is for all skill sets and backgrounds- covering everything from prehistoric tidbits to regional topics and pop culture deep dives.
Bring in your own fossil specimens to get ID’d by the Charleston Fossil Adventures crew.
This event will be hosted at DISSOLVR Brewing

All ages welcome to attend, though AMOS recommends 13+ for the lecture and trivia.
No admission fee. Suggested donation of $15 encouraged.
ABOUT DR. GALE
Dr. Ashby Gale is the founder of Charleston Fossil Adventures, LLC and author of A Beachcomber’s Guide to Fossils, which sold out prior to its publication date. Ashby is a graduate of Appalachian State University where he earned a degree in Environmental Science.
His current research focuses on marine vertebrates from the Rupelian Ashley Formation. It’s hard for Ashby to pick just one favorite fossil in his collection, but his top three currently are a tooth from Saurornitholestes (a small raptor), a baby mammoth molar, and an articulated set of eagle ray teeth with feeding wear facets.
