Why Fossils?
When the question arose as to what kind of project our group wanted to research, the universal response seemed to be fossils. Inspired by the trip to Pfeffer Park at the beginning of the semester, we decided to learn more about and research further the characteristics of fossils. Fossils also appeared to be interesting as well as universally known. Everyone has seen a fossil in their lives and many of us can name them by sight. It appeared to be a topic that we could understand as well as teach to the class. It is complicated enough to be intricate, yet simple enough to be comprehendible. Our research involves researching the different Brachiopods within the Ordovician layers of sedimentary deposit. Our research took place in Brookville and Liberty, Indiana. We hope that you learn something and enjoy our site!!!
