Learn about giants that once roamed the Earth through the fossil remains they have left behind.
Millions of years ago, many strange and now extinct creatures once roamed the Earth. We learn about them from the clues they left behind. We use these clues to reveal the lives of these once thought-to-be-forgotten animals.
Have you ever wondered what an archaeological dig for dinosaur bones is like? What tools do they use? Where are the best places to conduct a dig? How about the displays in museums? The fossil molds...who makes them and how are they created?
Join us for an interesting and informative afternoon as Lee Hall and David Chapman from the Cleveland Museum of Natural History present two programs.
1-2:30 pm Digging Dinosaurs with paleontologist Lee Hall
2:30-4 pm Fossil Molding with casting technician David Chapman
