Dr Rebecca McKean “Under the sea: fossils from an ancient ocean”.
In the desert landscapes of southern Utah, surprising fossils have been discovered: fossils of fish, turtles, sharks and large marine reptiles called plesiosaurs! Parts of Utah were covered by a vast ocean about 90 million years ago, creating a perfect environment for marine life. So how big was this ocean? What types of fossils are found in Utah and how were they preserved? And what does a paleontologist do with these fossils? We will address all of these questions as we explore this ancient ocean.
