Meet SpongeBob and Squidward’s “extended family” and imagine Prehistoric Bikini Bottom through our museum collections! We’ll explore examples of marine communities extending more than 500 million years in the past, and Dr. Hendy will help us go back in time to imagine what a Prehistoric Bikini Bottom might have looked like. Discover the ever-changing cast of prehistoric characters and dive into their ancient environments!

Register on Zoom for the chance to ask your own questions, or stream this session live on YouTube!

 

Austin Hendy, Assistant Curator, Invertebrate Paleontology

Even the smallest ocean animals can become a fossil, and it's an Invertebrate Paleontologist’s job to study them. These tiny fossils help scientists ask and answer some big questions about the history of the world’s oceans and their future.

In Partnership with Nickelodeon
