DESCRIPTION:Journey through billions of years of natural history as we exa
 mine the fossil record from primitive marine organisms to massive dinosaur
 s and mighty mammals of the Ice Age. Bring Earth's past to life with 
 a hands-on experience and discover how ancient life left a permanent mark 
 in stone, unearthing the remarkable story of our planet's past.Presen
 ted by Rhonda Roederer, a retired consultant micropaleontologist who spent
  over 40 years working in the oil industry of the Gulf of Mexico, both ons
 hore and offshore. A micropaleontologist is a specialized geologist who st
 udies microscopic fossils, unlocking clues about Earth's history. In 
 the oil industry, these tiny fossils are critical for identifying rock lay
 ers underground and locating oil and gas reserves. While her career was fo
 cused at the microscopic level, Rhonda's passion for fossils extends 
 to the macro scale, making her a devoted collector and enthusiast of the l
 arger fossils that span the entire geologic time scale.
