KZMU News: Wednesday May 22, 2019

Animal and plant fossils can tell us a lot about the history of the earth and the evolution of life. Utah is a place especially rich with the fossil record – scientific discoveries are being made here every year. In early June, Utah Friends of Paleontology will bring together experts and amateurs in Moab to discuss the latest findings and research. KZMU News spoke to their current president, Lee Shenton, about the event and ongoing projects. Register for the event and find more information by visiting:
