On July 26, the State Museum of Pennsylvania will host a webinar on Pennsylvania Caves - Time Capsules Of The Past starting at 12:15 p.m.

Join Rose-Anna Behr, the Karst and Sinkhole Specialist for DCNR’s Pennsylvania Geological Survey, to learn how Pennsylvania’s caves preserve a record of the past.

Fossils, from giant wooly mammoths to tiny grains of pollen, reveal information about the past climate, ecosystems, and wildlife that roamed this state.

Even stalactites and stalagmites keep their own record of the activities on the land surface preserved in microscopic detail. Discover what the caves reveal about the past.

The presentations will last about 20 minutes followed by a Q/A session.
