Texas Scientists Name Ancient Beaver Fossil After Buc-ee's Gas Station

Scientists at University of Texas’s Jackson School Museum of Earth History have named a beaver fossil, discovered in a filing cabinet, Anchitheriomys buceei after Texas-based gas station chain Buc-ee's. The fossil was first discovered in 1941 by a team of Texas A&M University paleontologists, and was forgotten amid the rest of A&M’s vast paleontological collection, including after it was moved to the University of Texas in the 1980s.
