Residents and visitors of the Rio Grande Valley may step over millions of years of history that included volcanic eruptions, 27-million-year-old petrified logs, 42-million-year-old giant oyster shells, and projectile points used by humans for over 12,000 years.” Ancient Landscapes of South Texas: Hiding in Plain Sight” illuminates the unique landscape and helps curious minds to understand the natural processes that formed South Texas. “It’ll give people a good graphic and physical sense of what the natural and cultural historical foundations of this area are,” states Dr. Christopher L. Miller.  “Ancient Landscapes of South Texas: Hiding in Plain Sight” will be on display at the IMAS starting January 6, through March 31, 2024.
