Dinosaur Expedition Adventure

(grades K-8)

Explore a dinosaur dig site in the library! Listen to an interactive fossil talk and dig for real dinosaur bones. Rare and unusual fossils will be on display.

Finding a dinosaur may be accomplished by one person but, getting a dinosaur out of the ground is always a team effort. We will showcase all the different skills that come together on a paleontological dig. We will invite the audience to experience the thrill of digging up a real dinosaur bone. Each child will unearth a Triceratops bone and then help construct a dinosaur on a large cut-out. In addition, we will feature the skull of a Triceratops that we discovered in 1996 and explore the characteristics of this dinosaur.  The program will include audience participation, a touch of magic, show & tell with rare fossils and the mystery fossil game show will round out the program. We will set-up a mini-museum featuring some of our favorite findings.

Presented by Field Paleontologists Mike and Roberta Straka.
