Fossil Treasures from the Burgess Shale- Paleontologist Talk with Dr. Jean Bernard Caron
Advertisement
You will have the opportunity to learn about one of Earth’s most important fossil sites with someone who knows it best.
Join Dr. Jean-Bernard Caron, Curator of Invertebrate Palaeontology at the Royal Ontario Museum and a leading expert on the Burgess Shale, for an engaging evening of ancient oceans, remarkable fossils, and the findings that continue to shape our understanding of early life on Earth. 🌎
More than 500 million years ago, the Burgess Shale preserved an extraordinary marine world. Its fossils offer clues about the origins of modern animals, the evolution of complex life, and what our planet looked like long before dinosaurs.
Dr. Caron will share the stories behind these findings, bringing the science to life with the insight of someone directly involved in studying these incredible fossils.
Your ticket also includes access to SUE: The T. rex Experience, because one prehistoric adventure is never quite enough. 🦖
Light refreshments will also be available for purchase.
This is Dr. Caron’s only public talk in Western Canada during his visit.
