In a paper published August 23rd in the journal Quaternary Research, Geography and Environmental Science Professor Emeritus Martin Lockley, and his colleagues, explained the significance of the discovery of baby sea turtle fossil prints from the Pleistocene epoch in South Africa. Lockley, who studied turtle tracks from Colorado, says almost all previously-known fossil turtle tracks were made by “fresh water species that lived in lakes and ponds.” Most, he says, “have been found and studied in the Northern Hemisphere, in Europe, North America and Asia.”
Canvas Outage
Canvas access has been restored for our users, but the service reliability remains uncertain. Due to recent events, Canvas has had intermittent outages which are at the discretion of the vendor and may occur during a final exam. Faculty and staff may continue to use Canvas, but we strongly advise faculty and students to prepare a contingency plan for turning in assignments and final exams in the event Canvas access becomes unavailable again.
Instructure, the company that owns Canvas, has provided an FAQ about the incident, which may not answer all your questions. We will share more information if it becomes available.
