Winter Lecture
2009
Our winter lunch and lecture was Saturday, February 28th.

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,

the Section of Invertebrate Paleontology Lab and began at
10 am followed
by the Geology Scavenger Hunt from 11 - 12.

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.
