 We are super excited about our new course offering for Spring 2020, **OEB/EPS 150 Exceptional Paleobiological Insights into Animal Evolution.** We will learn about the the nature and biases of the fossil record, the mechanisms behind exceptional preservation in biotas ranging from the Precambrian to mid-Phanerozoic, and study some amazing fossils from the MCZ collections along the way! The course is open to both undergraduate and graduate students, and features a week-long trip to the Cambrian of Utah during the spring. You can find information at [my.harvard](https://my.harvard.edu/).
