Virginia is chock full of geological richness. Today, VMNH Research Associate Bill Henika and VMNH Executive Director Dr. Joe Keiper took advantage of the pleasant weather conditions to tour a variety of geological sites in Augusta County and nearby locations. While one of the images seen here may seem just like a picture of an ordinary rock to many, you can actually see worm burrows within it dating back to the Cambrian Period, a time marked by a dramatic burst of evolutionary changes in life on Earth.
