Objective(s): To collect vertebrate fossils and associated specimens (e.g. beaver-cut sticks) from a Pliocene (?) beaver pond site.
Project Description: The researcher will collect vertebrate fossils and associated paleoenvironmental evidence from the site in order to contribute further to our knowledge of: (1) a unique "boreal forest" environment that existed in Pliocene (?) time; and (2) the geological age of the deposit.
