Westmoreland State Park is a special place known for the common, rare, and marvelously spectacular fossils including shark teeth you can find along our shoreline. Many visitors take home pieces of the past that they have found at Fossil Beach.

How would you like to design your very own pair of shark tooth earrings? This special and unique creation is your bedazzled keepsake from the Horsehead Cliffs of the park.

Please sign up and pay in-advance for your spot at the Visitor Center. This program is limited to 8 spots. We do apologize for any inconvenience.

This program is for ages 8+ and participants can wrap the teeth themselves or have them wrapped by a ranger!
