Dr. Liz Nesbitt and David B. Williams will discuss the amazing array of past life featured in their new book, “Spirit Whales and Sloth Tales: Fossils in Washington State,” on Sunday, Nov. 12, 3 p.m. at Fort Worden Chapel.
The authors will provide background on what inspired them to write the first book ever on fossils in the state, why they chose the fossils they did, and some of the new science that has allowed paleontologists to tease out the 500-million-year long story of life in this region.
In addition, they will highlight some of the marine organisms, including several unusual whales, a six-foot-tall bird that resembled a penguin, and the state’s oldest fossils, trilobites and archaeocyaths.
To keep this lecture series accessible to all, regardless of the ability to pay, there is no set charge for these lecture events; however, donations are always welcomed and appreciated.
