Fossilized Billfish

Did you know that in the past much of the East Coast was underwater? Scientists can glimpse that fascinating past by studying fossils of creatures that lived long ago. Join graduate student, Miguel Montalvo, as he talks about marine fossils and how he uses them in his research on billfishes. Activities will be created in partnership with the students from the Williamsburg Montessori School.  

Discovery Labs are free, family-friendly programs provided each month by CBNERR-VA at VIMS. Designed with elementary-aged youth and their parents in mind, each lab focuses on a different topic related to the Chesapeake Bay and our local environment and includes exhibits, demonstrations, and hands-on activities as well as a short presentation (from 6:30-7:00 PM) by an expert on the topic.


Reservations to this event are required due to limited space.
