What might look like sand to the untrained eye, may be the missing clue in a paleontological puzzle. Microfossils are preserved remains, traces, or imprints of past life, including bones, shells, footprints, and even preserved soft tissues. 

Despite their diminutive size, they have massive implications when trying to understand the past. Learn from a paleontologist about his microscopic research and the huge discoveries he’s made!
