Finding a dinosaur can be accomplished by one person but, getting a dinosaur out of the ground is
always a team effort.

 

During this free event for kids in grades K-8, Paleontologists Mike and Roberta Straka will explain the different skills that have to come together for a successful paleontological dig.

 

Kids attending will experience the thrill of digging up a real Triceratops dinosaur bone and then help construct a dinosaur on a large cut-out!

The program features the actual skull of Mr. Nixon, a Triceratops discovered by the presenter's team in 1996. 

In addition to learning the characteristics of this dinosaur, they will also be introduced to rare fossils during a hands-on and exciting educational adventure that includes a mini museum  showcasing photos and minerals from their actual summer digs in South Dakota!

​

This Unity Hall event co-sponsored by the Barneveld Free Library is free for children accompanied by a parent or guardian to attend.

Free Tickets are available through Humanitix.
