Paleontology Lectures at San Diego Natural History Museum
Two well-known paleontologists are coming to the San Diego Natural History Museum within the next few weeks for a lecture and book signing in conjunction with our upcoming exhibition, Dinosaurs: Ancient Fossils, New Discoveries. I thought that this might be of interest to your staff and educators. Instructors receive the student discount.
Dinosaurs of the Lost Continent
Lecture and Booksigning with Scott D. Sampson, Ph.D., Research Curator, Utah Museum of Natural History, University of Utah
How were so many giant animals able to coexist on such a diminutive landmass? Why were most of these dinosaurs adorned with bizarre bony features such as horns, crests, domes, or spikes? How did the predatory giant Tyrannosaurus rex ultimately evolve, and what factors may have led to the great extinction of dinosaurs at the close of the Mesozoic Era? Scott D. Sampson, Ph.D., will address these questions and more, exploring some of the latest ideas and controversies reviewed in his recent book, Dinosaur Odyssey: Fossil Threads in the Web of Life.
Tuesday, March 30; 6:30-8 PM
Lecture and Booksigning with Jack Horner, Ph.D., Curator of Paleontology, Museum of the Rockies and Regents Professor, Montana State University
Join Jack Horner, Ph.D., for a discussion about his latest paleontological research showing how dinosaur skulls changed as a variety of dinosaurs developed into adulthood. The dinosaurs that will be featured include Triceratops, Pachycephalosaurus, Tyrannosaurus, and the duck bill, Edmontosaurus. These changes provide information about dinosaur behavior.
Tuesday, April 13; 6–7:30 PM
