Join us for an enlightening evening of food, drink, and compelling connections to the fossil record with paleontologist Meghan Emery-Wetherell.
Fossil Forensics: What is a species, and why does it matter?
Identifying a new species from a fossil is surprisingly difficult. Join paleontologist and UO alumnus Dr. Meaghan Emery-Wetherell as she explores how we can confuse 'weirdness' for new species in long-dead animals, and how museum collections provide clues to untangle the fossil record.
