Ecologist Andy Boyce discovered a lobster fossil near his field site in Montana, evidence that long ago this area of the Northern Great Plains was once the floor of a shallow sea.
Today, fossils can sometimes be found along the undercut banks of the creek where

From the deepest trenches to the shallowest shores and across five basins, water circulates in one interconnected system: the world ocean. This World Ocean Day, discover how seemingly different animals — sessil coral and soaring seabirds — are connected to each other, to a changing climate and to ocean conservation.
The biorepositories are similar to seed banks for plants, in that the frozen coral
It may have been a sight to behold for a stranger on the banks, but we didn’t care
