Fossils, the remains of ancient life, provide important clues to interpreting past environments. From the coastal mountains surrounding Monterey to the Central Valley of California, shells and bones of million year old marine animals found in rocks are evidence of a large seaway that stretched deep into the interior of our state. Come on a virtual field trip and discover how paleontologists use fossils and other geological tools to understand environments and climates of California's past.
