Paleontologist & Educational Advocate
About Clara Sanders
In 2019, Clara Sanders led the community excavation of the 'Prairie Ridge Bonebed' in South Dakota, a site where over 300 juvenile Triceratops remains were uncovered in a single stratigraphic layer, challenging long-held assumptions about ceratopsian herd behavior and juvenile mortality patterns. She co-developed the Fossil Literacy Framework, now adopted by 47 U.S. school districts, which teaches geologic time not as abstract epochs but through tactile, locally sourced sediment cores and 3D-printed fossil replicas calibrated to regional bedrock. Her field journals, published quarterly on the Paleontology Outreach Network, include annotated sketches of fossil preparation mistakes she’s made, complete with corrective micro-CT scans. Clara doesn’t just translate science for non-specialists; she designs learning pathways where uncertainty is pedagogically scaffolded, not smoothed over. Her most cited public lecture, 'What the Mud Remembers,' centers on how soil chemistry at dig sites reveals ancient wildfire frequency, and why that matters for modern prairie restoration.
