Winter Lecture 2009
Our winter lunch and lecture was Saturday, February 28th. This year's lecture was entitled: Geology of Carnegie’s Dinosaurs. The lecture discussed how geologic factors controlled the ecology and death, and preservation of some of the important dinosaur specimens on display in the Dinosaurs in their Time exhibition hall. Our light lunch and social began in the Invertebrate Paleontology Lab at noon with the lecture starting at approximately 1 pm.

Junior Paleontologist for A Day
The Junior Paleontologist for a Day event once again allowed aspiring paleontologists of all ages to prepare fossils and organize their own fossil kits. We held this event on Saturday, May 16, 2009. As in 2008 this event was held within the Section of Invertebrate Paleontology Lab and began at 10 am followed by the Geology Scavenger Hunt from 11 - 12.

Fall Field Trip 2009
Timing and location of the fall field trip will be discussed. We plan to once again examine important geologic exposures and fossil localities in Western Pennsylvania and perhaps provide a basic workshop on geologic field techniques.
