I and three other geologists just finished a livestreamed conversation about the fantastic Pennsylvanian trace fossils of North Alabama. These include the most important trace fossil site of its age, a story that stretches back to 1929, and the oldest known evidence of schooling in fish (with evidence for group behavior of tetrapods and invertebrates as well).
