Fossil Hunting in Morocco

Deep in the dry, dusty Moroccan desert palaeontologists are hard at work. The site of an ancient ocean, scientists are digging here to find some of the oldest ancestors of starfish and sea urchins. Join us as we speak to a scientist who has just returned from the field to discover what fossil finds they have uncovered and what these can tell us about the evolution and diversity of such a peculiar group of animals. This talk will take place at 12:30 and 14:30. Q and A included.
