It's the site where Langlieria smalingi, a new species of lobe-finned fish was discovered! The Langlieria smalingi was a large predator that trolled the delta-like ecosystems in Pennsylvania during the Late Devonian (about 370 million years ago). It is the oldest known tristichopterid from the Catskill Formation. The specimen was collected by recreational paleontologists Jim Smaling and Jim Forster from an exposure of the Catskill Formation along a highway roadcut in Centre County. Pictured is Academy Research Associate Jason Downs. ⁠
