Jurassic Spark: How Nevada’s Fossils Shed Light on Today’s Extinctions

One of the best climate and oceanic record keepers through deep time are marine fossils, including ichthyosaurs and reefal ecosystems, which fossilize extremely well and have millions of years of data to share. The marine fossil record of Nevada shows one particular mass extinction record with eerily similar conditions to today. Join Montana Hodges, paleontologist, professor and science writer, to learn about mass extinctions of the past and present.
