Her field research on fossil mammals takes her all over the Rocky Mountain Region as well as to the North Slope of Alaska and Canada’s High Arctic. Today’s talk with focus on Jaelyn’s research on early Eocene (52 – 54 Ma) mammals from the Canadian High Arctic as well as on tiny fossil mammals that lived alongside the dinosaurs in Alaska during the Late Cretaceous Period (~72 Ma).
