Discover the process of fossilization and the wide range of animals found in South Carolina’s fossil record.

Paleontologist Ashby Gale will explain why fossil deposits are found where they are, interpret evidence from the fossil record to uncover past climate patterns, and explore the mechanisms that drive fossilization.
Throughout the presentation, he will share fossils collected from the Lowcountry, giving the audience an up-close look at Charleston’s prehistoric past.

Guests are encouraged to bring a few fossils for identification after the presentation!
