Our Upcoming Speaker
Note: Since October 2022, we have returned to in-person meetings at the Birmingham Zoo using a hybrid Zoom-In Person format with the in-person meeting at the Lodge at the Birmingham Zoo

​Title: "Digging Dinosaurs in the American West"

​​​​​​

Speakers: Jim Braswell, APS President, and Prescott Atkinson, APS Vice President

​​

Abstract:

​For the last eight years or so your Secretary Carl Sloan, APS member Marc Harvey, and I have gone on a weeklong summer expedition with Elevation Science (elevationscience.org), a nonprofit conducting paleontological excavations under permit on Federal Bureau of Land Management land, primarily in the Jurassic Morrison Formation.  Jim has had a very different experience hunting on private land with a private group in the late Cretaceous Hell Creek/Lance Formation. Together we will try to give you a tour of Montana/Wyoming dig sites and a possible preview for a future paleo dream vacation.
