Acrosalenia hemicidaroides and encrine (isocrinus sp.). Bajocian (168 million years). Vosges, France. The preservation of sea urchins with their quills is exceptional, since they come off as soon as the animal dies. The analysis of the outcrop shows that the stratum with the sea urchins is surmounted by a sand dune several meters thick. We can assume that a hydraulic dune quickly buried the living sea urchins, making this exceptional preservation possible.- Blouet brothers collection

Tomb of Ramesses III, Pharaoh of the Twentieth Dynasty in Ancient Egypt. reigned from 1186 to 1155 BC and is considered to be the last monarch of the New Kingdom to wield any substantial authority over Egypt.

The tomb has been open since antiquity, and has been known variously as Bruce's Tomb (named after James Bruce who entered the tomb in 1768) and The Harper's Tomb (due to paintings of two blind harpers in the tomb).

Spaceward Bound event in the Mojave Desert , CA (an outreach exercise) with Dr Chris McKay and Ames Education department personnel Brian Day, Barbara Bazar and a accompaning (learning for the the classroom) team of teachers will be studying side-by-side with NASA scientists who search for life in extreme environments, closely approximating what they expect to find on other planets. Why the Mojave -- an inhospitable, sun-drenched spot in the California Desert This natural setting presents scientists with opportunities to study environments that are analogous to what explorers will find on the Moon and Mars. Teachers and scientists will perform scientific fieldwork in lunar geology, Mars astrobiology, Mars geology, and issues of temperature and solar inundation and radiation. for additional information and Outreach projects see http //quest.arc.nasa.gov/
