About this Event

Join Amanda Rea in learning about the Eocene-aged sedimentary layers that sculpt Bryce Canyon National Park's iconic hoodoos. These vibrant pink and orange rocks, formed in ancient lake environments, preserve a rich record of environmental change and biological activity. This presentation highlights the geology and trace fossils left by invertebrates and other organisms, offering a glimpse into the environment and behaviors of life forms that once inhabited Bryce Canyon millions of years ago.

Amanda Rea is the Director of Camps and Collections at Dinosaur Ridge in Morrison, Colorado where they manage all of Dinosaur Ridge's paleontological day camps and museum collections. They are currently a geology graduate student at Colorado School of Mines.

To complement our Prehistoric Aurora exhibit, the Aurora History Museum is thrilled to host a six-part Prehistoric Eras Tour! These engaging presentations will transport you through millions of years of natural history, from ancient seas filled with trilobites to the Ice Age landscapes of Colorado. Whether you’re a dinosaur lover, a geology buff, or simply curious about the world beneath your feet, this free series has something for everyone.
