Podcast: “Let’s Time Warp to Ancient Appalachia, Y’all”

Date Sep 4, 2024
Published in Currents

The Tennessee Aquarium’s home in Chattanooga sits in the heart of some of the oldest mountains on Earth (the Appalachians), but what was life like in our neck of the woods, say, 5 million years ago? How about 65 million?

In honor of the latest film now playing at the Tennessee Aquarium IMAX 3D Theater, T. REX 3D, we’ve called up paleontologist and mammalogist Dr. Steven “Wally” Wallace to offer up some expert insights into life in ancient (and REALLY ANCIENT) Appalachia.

Episode cast:

  • Casey Phillips, Communications Specialist and Host
  • Dr. Steven “Wally” Wallace, Paleontologist and Professor at East Tennessee State University
