Behind The Scenes: HAll of Paleontology- Earliest Life on Earth
Because the Morian Hall of Paleontology is too large to tour in one evening, we are debuting a new series that will cover the hall section by section. Led by HMNS staff trainer, James Washington, each tour will include a hands-on fossil experience.
Journey back 3.5 billion years to the toxic ponds of Precambrian time, where life first appeared: slime mold, now preserved as stromatolites. Then on to the glory days of the Cambrian explosion, 540 million years ago when trilobites sprouted horns and elaborate head-dresses. Moving to the Devonian, you will meet an exciting cast of characters. Ferocious fishes encased in thick armor were equipped with self- sharpening fangs strong enough to slice a school bus.
