ABOUT DR. GALE
Dr. Ashby Gale is the founder of Charleston Fossil Adventures, LLC and author of A Beachcomber’s Guide to Fossils, which sold out prior to its publication date. Ashby is a graduate of Appalachian State University where he earned a degree in Environmental Science.
His current research focuses on marine vertebrates from the Rupelian Ashley Formation. It’s hard for Ashby to pick just one favorite fossil in his collection, but his top three currently are a tooth from Saurornitholestes (a small raptor), a baby mammoth molar, and an articulated set of eagle ray teeth with feeding wear facets.
