Once again, it's that time of year; to celebrate our favorite topic -FOSSILS!

 

Good to know. Whose idea was that and how many years has this been going on?

This was stared by the National Park Service and, I believe, the Geological Society of America about ten years ago.  Museums and National parks have been doing events all over the country.  Every year has a different theme.  This year it is Permian.  My colleague and I are doing a live FB video at noon in anyone is interested.  Tate Geological Museum FB page

 

edit: Noon Wyoming time.

good for you for dropping fb.  I just tried to download it and I can't.  Maybe tomorrow from the office.  IN any case, we had some technical difficulties and the sound was mediocre at best.  

 

Edit: It was a one time deal.  No recording.
