Paleontology is the study of the history of life on Earth as recorded by the fossil record. Although many people know about key paleontology discoveries like Tyrannosaurus rex, few realize the rich record found in the eastern United States. In this class, we examine the weird and wondrous animals that once lived in the very region where we live! I will take students on an adventure through time to see some of eastern North America's most amazing fossil discoveries, and showcase several new areas of research being worked on right now!
