Title

Excavating Dinosaurs: You Can, Too!

Description

Learn what it takes to be an amateur dinosaur excavator. And maybe take home a souvenir that's 165 million years old (if I remember to bring them).

Presenter’s Name

Paul Vaitkus

Presenter’s Bio

Paul has absolutely no formal credentials in geology or paleontology and is pretty much an ignoramus about dinosaurs. But he has been a volunteer excavator of dinosaurs for 19 years (but has no formal affiliation) with an esteemed Illinois museum of natural history (not the one in Chicago).
