It is the last day of DiNovember and we are going to learn "if you really can find a dinosaur bone in your back yard." Teams of trained paleontologists make discoveries every day, but sometimes, new fossils are uncovered completely by accident in unexpected places. Dr. Natalie will discuss the process by which paleontologists decide where to dig and why, how fossils are carefully uncovered in the field, and the tricky, but exciting ways in which dinosaurs are transported safely back to the Museum for research, education, and exhibition. Recommended for grades 2nd and up. Registration preferred here: https://highplains.libcal.com/event/13430649Quick Bio: Natalie Toth is the Chief Fossil Preparator at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science. She works with an incredible team of paleontologists, interns, and volunteers to find, collect, and repair Jurassic and Cretaceous vertebrate fossils from the American West and southern hemisphere.
