Natural History Pub: Geology & Paleontology of the John Day River Basin

The geology of the John Day basin records a rich history of changing environments, including deep oceans, subtropical rainforests, temperate forests and sagebrush steppes. While volcanic and tectonic activity built the land we see today, the John Day River and its tributaries have helped to expose these rocks. Hear from Dr. Nicholas Famoso, Paleontology Program Manager and Museum Curator at John Day Fossil Beds National Monument, to unlock a critical understanding of this region’s past.
