FLORIDA SPECTACULAR w/Cathy Salustri: Hurricanes, Fossils, and an Elephant Graveyard

In Episode 165 of Florida Spectacular, Cathy Salustri and Rick Kilby open a trunk of fascinating history. Along the Suwannee River, there's a treasure trove of fossilized rhinos and elephants. Stephenie Livingston, a science journalist, joins the podcast this week to talk about the Montbrook fossil site, what we can learn about climate change from it, and why it matters.
