The fossil record of Vermont: What we can learn from the cataloguing efforts of the Vermont fossil record?
Abstract
This poster presentation explores the work done by myself, combined with previous data collected by other interns working within the Geology/Paleontology collections in Delehanty Hall. This presentation focuses on what conclusions and observations can be made about the fossils from Vermont that have been catalogued so far in the extensive cataloguing process. A map aims to show the geographic and temporal distribution of fossils throughout the state of Vermont, and observations on the prevalence of certain species. Participation in this student research conference is required as part of the curriculum of BIOL3991B, Advanced Natural History Collections Internship.
