Earth and Mineral Sciences Library

The EMS Library geocache is hidden among our collection.
Follow these clues to find the cache and learn a little about libraries along the way!

Unlike the typical multicache that requires GPS coordinates to find the first clue, you are starting from this page so you already know the room number and building to begin your search!
From here, the only clue to the next stage is in the name of the geocache - By George.

Good hunting!

(The waypoint for "By George" is GCQXJR.)

The first part of this multistage cache takes you to a neat example of a geologic formation known as a concretion.  Due to construction the concretion has been moved to the east side of Deike Building, which is named after the former dean of the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences, Dr. George Deike. Just to the left of the concretion is a nice example of Malus sargentii, otherwise known as an ornamental crabapple tree. Look carefully for its ID tag, which is on a metal disk and consists of a letter and a number. To the number on the tag, add the number of the century in which Penn State was founded. The resulting number is the room number in Deike Building where you need to go and visit "By George" for the next clue!
