An upcoming program will detail the journey of a nationally famous 12-foot fossil fish (Xiphactinus) that was collected by George Sternberg in western Kansas in June 1925.

The presentation chronicles the 90-year saga of the fossil’s meanderings from Kansas to its present home at the Miami Science Center in Miami. A visual program will be presented by Chuck Bonner and Barbara Shelton, paleontologists at Keystone Gallery near Scott City, who recently scientifically restored this famous fish and dug through historical archives to figure out its fascinating story.

The free presentation will be held at the Sternberg Museum of Natural History on Saturday, June 13, at 7:30 p.m.
