Photo of Haag Lab fossil trip with Rudy Raff

We were honored to host Eric's graduate advisor, Rudy Raff, as part of the evolution-themed 2008 Bioscience Day last November.   Rudy is an avid fossil hound, so we took him to the Calvert Cliffs area on the western shore of the Chesapeake, where we found Miocene shark and skate teeth (as well as lots of crummy weather!).  L to R, Cristel Thomas, Ed Zattara (Bely Lab), Qinwen Liu, Gavin Woodruff, Rudy Raff, Eric Haag.  (Photo by Arlin Stoltzfus, who was also our guide).
