UPDATE: Project extension - we're almost there!

The founder of experiment.com granted extensions to projects which were making good progress and working hard, and ours was included! We are currently 92% funded with 8 days to go! If everyone shares the project one more time, we can reach the goal in no time! I sincerely appreciate the support from everyone.

About This Project

This study will investigate the effect of volcanic ash on ancient marine life from the Miocene epoch of Patagonia, about 10 million years ago. My hypothesis is that volcanic ash led to mass mortality of marine communities, and contributed to exceptional fossil preservation. This study will help determine how fossil marine communities responded to and recovered from large-scale environmental catastrophes, and how rapid burial in volcanic ash contributes to fossil preservation.

Blast off!
