Walcott’s Quarry #79: Triumph Interrupted

Filed Under Walcott's Quarry

This comic is picks up where the last one left off. You will now find out why Walcott recieved the greeting he did (he isn’t a murderer, as one reader suggested!). Walcott adresses of the House Range trilobites, and it doesn’t go quite how he imagined it might!

Walcott's Quarry #79

In case you’re wondering, the Wheeler Survey, and the survey that W.J. Johnson was a part of, were USGS groups that explored and mapped the House Range before Charles Walcott went there. From what I can tell, Walcott was the first person to do major fossil collecting there.

Walcott’s Quarry #76: Sirius Passet

Filed Under Walcott's Quarry

The journey finally gets underway! Walcott makes the long and treacherous journey to the cold, desolate Sirius Passet formation in the north of Greenland. Keen observers will note, of course, that the north of Greenland was a lot nearer to the equator during the Cambrian.
