Fossils Under our Feet is an engaging presentation on the process of fossilization and the diverse animals present in South Carolina’s fossil record. Paleontologist Ashby Gale will construct explanations for why fossil deposits are located where they are, interpret past data from the fossil record to analyze historical climate patterns and explore the driving mechanisms of fossilization processes. Throughout the presentation, he will share different fossils collected in the Lowcountry for the audience to get an up close look at our prehistoric past!
