- **Event Name**: June Noon Lecture: A Bestiary of Mississippi’s Ice Age Animals
- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 02 Jun, 2026 at 12:00 pm – Tue, 02 Jun, 2026 at 01:00 pm (-05:00)
- **Event Description**: “Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh My!” – A Bestiary of Mississippi’s Ice Age Animals with George Phillips

Nearly a hundred species of animals are documented among the ‘Ice Age’ (Pleistocene Epoch) fossils held in the state fossil collection at MMNS. This includes mammals, reptiles, birds, and even freshwater invertebrates. 

The fossil record tells us that there are differences in the composition of Ice Age animal communities between major regions in the state, which may be interpreted as major regional ecosystem-level differences. Although modern ecosystems in the state are heavily influenced by human occupation and activity, they contain remnant Ice Age inhabitants. 

We’ll discuss those and the species, or species groups, that are both extinct (no longer living) or extralimital (no longer living in Mississippi).
