Margareth Ferruzola '09, Jordan Fischetti '08 and Wes Gapp worked with Professor of Geosciences Cynthia Domack this summer to collect Utica shale near Little Falls, N.Y. The Utica Shale is more than 400 million years old and world renowned for its trilobite and graptolite fossils. Ferruzola is a geoscience major and Fischetti is majoring in geoarchaelogy.
The students made a collection of fossils from this site as part of their paleontology internship this summer with Domack. They collected more than 900 specimens. In addition to trilobites and graptolites they collected fossil brachiopods, gastropods, pelecypods, cephalopods, and ostracodes.
The reference collection they made will be used for research and teaching purposes.
