A Shellebration
Every seashell has a story, and we are lucky enough to have a seasoned storyteller in our midst to tell it.
One of the most accomplished paleoanthropologists of our time, Donald C. Johanson, will give a talk called What’s New in the Last Few Million Years tomorrow, July 9, at 7:30 p.m. at the Martha’s Vineyard Hebrew Center on Centre street in Vineyard Haven.
Dr. Johanson has produced some of the field’s groundbreaking discoveries, including the most widely known and thoroughly studied fossil find of the 20th century — the Lucy skeleton.
His program is appropriate for children as young as fifth or sixth grade, and the cost is $15.
Mr. Barnes, along with an assortment of local builders, contractors and heavy machinery, helped place a 1,000-pound, seven-and-a-half-foot fossilized Triceratops skull atop a metal pedestal in the specially renovated hallway of a Vineyard Haven home.
