Join us at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, May 20, for a BrainStorm Discussion on:
"Unearthing China's Dragons"
with Judy Sanders, fossil excavator and preparator at the Utah Geological Survey
http://www.geology.utah.gov/
OMSI's newest exhibit Dinosaurs: China's Ancient Giants features some of the most spectacular finds in paleontology today. From Liaoning to Gansu, new dinosaur discoveries are changing the face of paleontology. We will look at some of these discoveries, where they were made, and why dinosaurs half-way around the world are important to the study of dinosaurs in North America.
Judy Sanders has worked in paleontology for 14 years as a fossil excavator in the western United States, Canada, and China, and currently works as a fossil preparator at the Utah Geological Survey under Dr. James Kirkland. She has spent 10 years as a volunteer fossil preparator and educator for OMSI, from 1997 through 2006 and has made four trips to China to excavate fossils and study Chinese dinosaurs.
Cost: $10 for adults (ticket stub good for $10 off an OMSI membership!)
