Scientists have uncovered rare fossil evidence of an inter-species relationship between two different types of worms more than 500 million years ago in what is now the Canadian Rockies. It’s one of the oldest examples in the fossil record of symbiosis, a close, long-term interaction between two species.

The Idaho Museum of Natural History (IMNH), located on the Idaho State University Pocatello campus, has a currently-running exhibit entitled, “Skulls, Everyone’s Got One”. One of the skulls featured is a dire wolf skull. This exhibit started in September 2020 and museum officials plan to continue throughout the summer.
There are many ways to engage in learning at the museum through interactive options at the exhibit. “Our SKULLS exhibit has been very popular with students. We have over a hundred skulls showcasing the diversity of life from dinosaurs to vampire bats, and of course you can see how your own skull measures up. As always, our galleries are free to ISU students,” said Museum Director, Leif Tapanila.
