Join Emily Graslie on a journey through deep time in Prehistoric Road Trip. Traveling across the western United States, Emily explores ancient landscapes where fossils and expert insights reveal the stories of long-extinct worlds. In “Welcome to Fossil Country,” she begins in Wyoming’s Medicine Bow Mountains, uncovering evidence of 2.5 billion-year-old life and tracing the evolution of early organisms, from tiny fish to towering dinosaurs. Along the way, she connects with scientists to discover how fossils form and what they tell us about Earth’s distant past. The program is free and open to the public. It is approximately 53 minutes long and rated G and is made possible through Kanopy.
