Ancient High Plains History
Mike Everhart Host Mike Everhart, Adjunct Paleontologist with the Sternberg Museum of Natural History in Hays, KS, takes us further back in history than we've ever gone before. High Plains History is going back to the time when most of America was covered by a sea. We'll learn about the prehistoric monsters that filled that sea with terror as well as the brave scientists who faced untold dangers to bring us these stories from beneath our very feet.
