Although the museum's field work at the Solite Quarry is winding down, the results of extensive digging for Triassic fossils continues to yield scientific acclaim. In two recently published scientific papers, two new species of extinct insects were described based on Solite Quarry fossils that now reside inside the VMNH collections in Martinsville.
