SUMMARY:Searching for the Oldest Animal Fossils
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a talk by Professor Justin Strauss on the search 
 for the oldest animal fossils in celebration of the 2026 Summer Reading 
 theme\, "Unearth a Story." The Community Reads book we have chosen in 
 conjunction with this theme is Otherlands: A World in the Making. This talk 
 is hybrid: attend in person in the Mayer Room or register here for the Zoom 
 invitation. This program is co-sponsored by the Howe Library and the 
 Hanover Conservancy.\n\nAnimals are a relatively late addition to Planet 
 Earth. Professor Justin Strauss of the Department of Earth and Planetary 
 Sciences at Dartmouth will guide us through the earliest evidence for 
 animals in the fossil record and what hypotheses exist for driving early 
 animal evolution. In addition to this historical narrative\, Professor 
 Strauss will also take us along for a ride into his research in the remote 
 mountains of northwestern Canada\, where the search for these fossils also 
 happens to be in the some of the last vestiges of wilderness on our planet. 
 \n\n\nJustin Strauss is Associate Professor of Earth Sciences at Dartmouth 
 College. He is interested in a variety of geological phenomena\, from the 
 evolution of Earth's biosphere to the tectonic development of modern and 
 ancient mountain belts. His primary interest is reconstructing Earth's 
 history\, particularly the co-evolution of Earth and life during key 
 periods of tectonic and climatic change. Most of his projects are framed 
 through the lens of field-based sedimentology\, stratigraphy\, and 
 structural geology\; however\, he also integrates a wide array of tools\, 
 such as stable and radiogenic isotope geochemistry\, geochronology\, 
 paleontology\, and geological mapping to explore outstanding problems in 
 historical geobiology and global tectonics. \n\nJoin Meeting:
