Some of the fossil bones of �Laura, the Duck-billed Dinosaur� will be on display (learn more at www.paleoproject.org). See other genuine dinosaur fossils including bones, eggs, teeth, and claws! View dinosaur replicas and models including a T. rex jaw, duckbill skull and skin, dinosaur nest, and raptor skeleton just to name a few. Examine small fossils of other plants and animals that lived at this time. Was T. rex a scavenger or a predator? How fast did T. rex grow? What do the shapes of dinosaur teeth tell us about their diet? How did the duckbills chew their food? What made raptor dinosaurs such vicious killers? Did dinosaurs care for their young? Why did these dinosaurs go extinct? Are dinosaurs still with us today? Get answers to these questions and more. Come prepared to ask your questions as well. Don will share his experiences hunting for dinosaur fossils in the badlands of South Dakota and Montana to conclude the program.
