Kansas fish fossil back in science spotlight
KU researchers and international scientists report on a 80-million-year-old toothless plankton-eating fish named Bonnerichthys found in Kansas. The fossil, up to 27 feet, links to modern basking sharks and reshapes views of ancient Kansas oceans. The Bonner family, who found the specimen in Logan County, supported KU and the Sternberg Museum. Orville Bonner, now in Lawrence, recalls his father and brother’s fossil hunts and praises the naming honor.
