This week I was invited to lead tomorrow's fossil walk on the @ExtinctionDTP fieldtrip to Boggle Hole. Today we went rock pooling and found many creatures!
In the first of our series of @ExtinctionDTP blog posts, @alfie_howard66 writes about Põhja konn, The Northern Frog, and what the stories of this mythological creature offer us, when thinking about extinction. (MT)
