The New Jersey Paleontological Society was formed in 1991 for the educational and scientific pursuit of Paleontology and related Earth Sciences. Welcome to our website.

Monthly Meetings include guest speakers or workshops covering various topics in Paleontology, Geology and topics of related scientific and historical significance. Learn how to identify, restore, preserve and catalog your own finds and collections.

Field Trips held throughout the year are open to all members. Gain access to both public and privately owned properties both near and far, for responsible collection and preservation.

The club’s monthly newsletter the NJPS PALEONTOGRAPH, is sent to all members. It features upcoming events, shows, meetings, field trips, collecting sites as well as informative and original articles on various subjects. Members are encouraged to submit contributions for the publication.

Club tee-shirts and occasional limited edition shirts, tools, books, and other items are available at meetings to support the work of the club.
