Nine million year-old Miocene marine shells have just been uncovered by our San Pedro High School project team, led by Wayne Bischoff, PhD. Working in close collaboration with Dr. Austin Hendy at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, Envicom is particularly excited by this discovery - only the second ever recorded invertebrate fossils this old to be found on the Palos Verdes Peninsula.
This discovery provides a rare glimpse into Southern California's ancient marine environments and will support future paleontological research. Envicom is proud to advance scientific discovery while ensuring that progress and preservation go hand in hand.
