This fall, I'm working on describing the snails and clams from the Cretaceous rocks of Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument in southern Utah. In September, I will lead a team of students and colleagues from Idaho State University and Southern Utah University to conduct field surveys that identify the fossils in context with the river, lake ... See Moreand pond environments that once existed in ancient Utah. This region is particularly famous for the many new kinds of dinosaurs that are being unearthed, and my work will help fill in the bigger picture of what the ecosystems were like during that time. The IMNH currently has on exhibit some of these well preserved fossils from Utah, including an ancient ant nest.
