Intro to: Understanding a Gigantic Mass-Kill Fossils within the Grand Canyon

Join Drs Del Tackett and Steve Austin as they explore an extensive nautiloid fossil layer in Grand Canyon that is 300-km-long! These nautiloids were swept up and buried in a hyperconcentrated, high velocity sediment flow that was catastrophically rapid and not deposited over millions of years! Learn how this high velocity flow ends (like a colossal train wreck of sediment!) and early discoveries of similar nautiloid fossils in Missouri with special guests Darry Stansbury and Zak Klein.
