Bones and Badlands – Phil Manning

September 19 @ 7:30 pm 9:00 pm

Dinosaurs in some cases were awkwardly large. This led to some incredible adaptations to overcome the challenge of vast size but makes them particularly difficult to excavate and study! Some of the largest dinosaurs were the sauropods, growing up to 37 metres in length…if we are to believe some of the skeletons in museums, which are often based on partial/fragmentary remains. This talk will take you on an excavation to the Morrison Formation of Wyoming (USA) that has produced several moderate sized (20+ metres long) sauropod dinosaurs that were excavated over a period of five years.

This lecture will be offered in a hybrid format. Please join us in person if you can, or register to attend virtually via zoom using the link below.
