4TH NATIONALLY

Last fall, the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education named Luther the fourth best baccalaureate institution in the nation for our efforts in sustainability. Luther blue is looking pretty green these days!

Decorah Sea Scorpion

A life-sized model of an ancient sea scorpion is on loan to Luther and viewable by the public. The Decorah sea scorpion, Pentecopterus decorahensis, is a fossil discovery from the Decorah Crater basin, which was formed by a meteor impact around 465 million years ago. It is the oldest sea scorpion fossil ever found and one of the largest at over six feet long.
