Paleontology and geology

Shallow marine environments covered much of Georgia during the Cambrian. Thick layers of limy sediment built up on the sea floor, and stromatolites, corals, and trilobites thrived in the warm waters.

Virtual Exhibits (showing 1 of 1 listings)

Virtual Museum of Fossils: Geosciences, at Georgia's Valdosta State University, presents an interactive virtual museum of invertebrate and vertebrate fossil specimens. Explore the collection by animal, or by time period from Precambrian to Quaternary. Maps are detailed and include ecosystem distribution. Fossil photographs, many showing multiple views, list information about where the fossil was found, and how it is categorized taxonomically. Some pages feature a drawing of the animal's skeleton showing the fossil bone in red.
