For decades, rock layer in Negaunee Township has been on the radar of regional and
international geologists. Confirmed now to be the far-flung debris created by the impact of a
giant meteor that struck near what is now Sudbury, Ontario 1.85 billion years ago, this rock forms
an outcropping at the McClure Basin. Come hear the story of this incredible geological discovery
from the principal investigator on this project, William Cannon, Geologist Emeritus of the U.S.
Geological Survey along with local landowner at the basin, Bryon Ennis. $5 suggested donation.
