Mysterious Fossils of the Missouri Ozarks
Time: 1:30 PM - 3:00 PM

On Science Series

Featured Speaker: Bruce Stinchcomb, Ph.D., paleontologist, retired Professor of Geology, St. Louis Community College - Florissant Valley, and author of, World’s Oldest Fossils, Paleozoic Fossils and More Paleozoic Fossils

Lecture and book signing

Within the Missouri Ozarks are extensive fossil-containing exposures of rock strata formed during the Cambrian Period of geologic time and deposited in shallow seas from 500 – 535 million years ago. This geologic era was a time of a great radiation of life with some life forms being obvious ancestors to those living today, while others appear to be totally extinct. Paleontologist and author Bruce Stinchcomb talks about these disappearing life forms represented by peculiar and even mysterious fossils found in the Cambrian of the Missouri Ozarks.

To be held at:
Center of Clayton OASIS
50 Gay Avenue
St. Louis, MO 63105

Registration required.  FREE to the first 10 registrants, $10 per person thereafter. OPEN to ALL. Space is limited. Middle and high school students welcome.
