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).
