Dennis Terry, Associate Professor in the Department of Earth and Environmental Science, together with an EES graduate Bill Lukens (CST '09, '13), now Assistant Professor at James Madison University, led a field trip at a recent Geological Society of America Southeast Section Meeting. The field site was an outcrop in West Virginia that contains paleosols (fossilized soils) from Devonian period around 400 million years ago, when life is thought to have started moving from ocean to land.
