From 13-18 June 2025, researchers from our Geology and Paleontology Division, together with the Nannoworks Laboratory of UP-National Institute of Geological Sciences, went on an exciting field expedition across La Union in search of ancient marine and vertebrate fossils.

Uncovered were many fossil sea snails, clams (e.g. 𝑷𝒍𝒂𝒄𝒖𝒏𝒂), corals, and even mammal bones and teeth! These fossils were found in sedimentary rocks formed between 11.6 million and 28 thousand years ago. Along the way, striking tilted layers of sandstone and mudstone were seen – a glimpse into the region’s dynamic geological past.

Stay tuned for more discoveries and stories from our fieldwork!
