Happy #FossilFriday - The Pleistocene cat Petra, found in Virginia's Burja Cave, is now on display at the Virginia Museum of Natural History. Identified as an early puma, it could not be radiocarbon dated, indicating the cat is over 50,000 years old.
Dr. Alex Hastings of the Science Museum of Minnesota, pictured, was part of the recovery team after training to enter the cave's slick vertical passages.
