Last Friday was the Science Bowl on the SUNY Fredonia Campus. Two of our students ran the Earth Science portion and rocked it (no pun intended). Nice work Emma Johnson and Isaac Tripp!

Little known fact about the glacial sediment near Lake Erie in our area. Sometimes, you can see a swath of this sediment in the swash zone of the beach—the waves sort them differently because they are denser than the other sediment. #sunyfredonia #geology #lakeerie #sedimentology #glacialsediment

More pictures from measuring stratigraphy with Dr. Hegna's class out at the Sheridan Bay Park. Included is some meta-photography with SUNY Fredonia's Roger Coda (marketing and communications). #geology #stratigraphy #fredonia #lakeerie #sunyfredonia

A beautiful day to measure the Hanover Shale. Found a crinoid-filled lens amongst the layers. #Fredonia #geology #stratigraphy

Funding was halted before the armament could be completed. Unfortunately, a laser-powered superweapon was not deemed "necessary," "biologically-accurate," or "sane."

Whatzit Wednesday! Today we have a rock that was probably once purchased as part of a Ward’s Scientific collection, and probably originally came from New York. What is it? #geology #sunyfredonia #stuffthatishiddeninthebasementandneversseesthelightofday

Specimens in the collection go back to the 1800s. In the collection, there are eggs from extinct passenger pigeons and Carolina parakeets. The collection contains a lot of historical bird taxidermy, a sizable egg collection, shell collection, and pinned insects. 3/3

The goal is to once again have the Stanley Museum open to the public. The core of this collection was the work of former SUNY Fredonia biology professor, Willard Stanley. 2/3

The newly relocated Stanley Museum has been busy. Formerly in Jewett Hall, the new location on the second floor of Houghton has people organizing and cataloging specimens to put on display. 1/3

When making precise measurements in lab, students sometimes ask, "When are we going to actually use this?" Sometimes, you'd be surprised. Houghton Hall, 1973. #geology #prank #sunyfredonia #fredonia #VWbeetle

Associate professor Thomas Hegna gave a talk titled: "Teaching Critical Thinking on a Flat Earth." His presentation detailed his use of flat Earth myths, in a general education science class, to help students to think more critically.
