Helmuth Redschlag, Maureen Mall, and Velta Pocs discovered Homer in Ekalaka, MT, Burpee 's late Cretaceous dig site, in 2005. The organic rich mudstone indicates a flood plain environment, with fine silt and mud at the dig site. By examining microvertebrate and plant fossils, we know a lot about Homer 's environment.
