Fossils 101: Intro to Paleontology
April 27 @ 9:00 am - 10:30 am
$50
This course is designed for ages 14-140.
Led by Carl Mehling, one of the American Museum of Natural History’s esteemed paleontologists and pre-eminent scholar on Roland T. Bird, this is one course you won’t want to miss. Over the course of 3 Saturdays, Carl will take us back hundreds of millions of years to discover how dinosaurs suddenly turned to stone, archaeologists pulled them out of the ground, dusted them off, and put their skeletons into museums– Oh wait, hold on a sec. Carl says that’s not exactly true.
So what really happened behind-the-scenes in museums and what do fossil nerds like Carl actually do? Guess you’ll just have to sign up for the class to find out.
