    Fascinating course - I dropped in "cold" not having seen the preceding lectures, since Eocene insect fossils are a major area of focus for me when i volunteer in the FossiLab at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History. I also applaud the high level of technical aptitude with two guest speakers that added helpful context to the general story you were trying to tell.
