4/7/2017 -- Great Basin Brewing Co. Ichthyosaur Expedition Party

Help raise funds for the next Ichthyosaur expedition in central Nevada.

In 2016, a team of paleontologists from Bonn University in Germany climbed the mountains of central Nevada to find Ichthyosaur fossils to take back to the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles. What they found was 12 different species, one of them most likely the first large predator ever discovered (about 243 million years old). Knowing this was an important discovery, we joined the expedition. From monetary donations to physically driving the fossils to LA, we are excited to be a part of this important historical find and get an update on what they have discovered at the museum.

Along with The National Geographic Society, Bonn University (Germany), The German Research Foundation, The Natural History Museum of Los Angeles, and Nevada Lands, we are proud to be an official sponsor of the Ichthyosaur expedition here in Nevada.
