‘Sea Monsters of Alabama’

On Jan. 19, Dr. Jun Ebersole will make a presentation on the “Sea Monsters of Alabama” from 6-8 p.m. in the Estuarium at the Dauphin Island (Ala.) Sea Lab as the first event of a 2018 Sea Lab Foundation series. Giant whales, sharks, Loch Ness-like monsters are just a few of the extinct creatures that once roamed Alabama’s prehistoric oceans. Dr. Ebersole, director of collections at McWane Science Center in Birmingham, will take the audience on a journey back to Alabama’s prehistoric past to learn about fascinating creatures, and the current paleontological research taking place in the state.
