The ancient fossils and rare animals they discovered in this remote location represent very exciting scientific breakthroughs. Crypt of the Megafauna won "Best in Show" at the National Speleological Society convention in the summer of 2024. Dr. Espinasa will be available to answer questions about ‘Crypt' and also about his current and past research here at Sam's Point. Meet at the Sam's Point Visitor Center.
