Paleontological Find of the Century!

 


This is quite possibly the paleontological find of the century in Santa Cruz, literally!  An extinct deep sea brittle star, named over 120 years ago in honor of Santa Cruz; Amphiura sanctaecrucis, found high up in the Santa Cruz Mountains!  With gratitude out today to forthcoming coauthors Charles L Powell, John Barron, Sabine Stöhr, and others.

Pacific Paleontology teams with California State Parks and the Santa Cruz Museum of Natural History for great weekend expeditions in search of ancient fossils


 Young and old alike had a wonderful time this past weekend on expeditions exploring for the fossilized remains of hundreds of creatures turned to stone in the rock layers of the ancient Monterey Bay and beyond with Pacific Paleontology, hosted by #CaliforniaStateParks and the #SantaCruzMuseumofNatural History.  If you or someone you know has an interest in paleontology, please contact @PacificPaleontology at https://dot.cards/papa for more information on our upcoming internship opportunities for youth and adults’ “Paleontologists in Training” programs this coming spring.
