Come and see what happened when people from the highway department started digging a road in the middle of what used to be very deep pond. ETSU's prolific Miocene-aged fossil site at neighboring Gray, Tennessee, is attracting scholars, volunteers, and visitors from across the country seeking to learn about the rich paleoecology of Southern Appalachia. From tapirs to crocodiles, there are lots of interesting things being discovered at the site.
