Turtles All the Way Down: What fossils of chelonians tell us about the Age of Dinosaurs in Utah and beyond
Lecture/Readings
Today, only one species of turtle - the Mojave Desert Tortoise - is definitively native to Utah. But did you know that during the Age of Dinosaurs, our state had one of the most diverse turtle faunas in Earth history? Whether you're a turtle fan or just a paleo nerd, come learn about the diverse turtles from the Cretaceous of southern Utah, including a massive new species, and what they tell us about ancient aquatic ecosystems.
Part of USU Eastern's "From the Book Cliffs to Blanding: A Panoramic View of Eastern Utah" series, come hear paleontology professor Josh Lively speak the fascinating fossils that lie beneath our feet.
6:00 pm - 7:00 pm
| Utah State University Eastern Campus
