Interested in paleontology? Looking for your next read? Then join us for both at MuseumTalks: Fossils on April 29th 6PM at Pearl’s Books, an independent bookstore here in Fayetteville!

If attending in-person, registration is appreciated. Email lalamb@uark.edu with your name and number attending. The talk will also be held on Zoom! Register here: https://bit.ly/34Hm6Td

Dr. Celina Suarez, associate professor of geosciences at the U of A, will speak about her recent research. Suarez is the primary author of a publication about fossil findings from the Lower Cretaceous Holly Creek Formation of the Trinity Group in southwest Arkansas. The findings include two new Lower Cretaceous species, a small skink Sciroseps pawhuskai and a fish Anomoeodus caddoi, along with a variety of dinosaurs, mammals, fish, amphibians, and reptiles.

Fossils featured in the presentation were donated to the University of Arkansas Museum last fall. A selection of them will be displayed at the event for attendees to see in person. And while you’re there, check out the awesome selection of books at Pearl’s Books!

Dr. Suarez is the first speaker of MuseumTalks, a speaker series organized by the University of Arkansas Museum Advisory Council and held in partnership with Pearl’s Books.

Pearl’s Books is located just off the downtown square at 28 E Center St. Fayetteville, AR 72701.
