Paleontology: Fantastic Fossil Fun

Did you know that Missouri was once home to dinosaurs?  Come join our week long adventure as we learn about fossils,  how they form, and what kinds of organisms they represent.   We'll be exploring the SEMO fossil collection, and learning what kind of fossils you can find locally.  The week will end with a day-long field trip to the Bollinger County Museum of Natural History in Marble Hill to see remains of the Missouri dinosaurs.  On the way, we'll stop and see if we can find fossils of our own to take home.

Instructor: Brent Ashcraft, MS in Biology
Session IV: June 23-27, Afternoons*
