At Tuesday night's Board of Aldermen meeting, Park University introduced a new plant fossil named Parkvillia northcutti, after the City of Parkville, considered to be a link between conifers and ferns and the earliest evidence of seeds.

Park University Professor Scott Hageman is one of the authors of the paper “A new Pennsylvanian pollen organ from northwestern Missouri with affinities in the Lyginopteridales” which relates to the discovery of new fossilized organism.
