Join Delavan Public Library as we welcome University of Wisconsin-Madison Paleontologist David Lovelace for a talk on the long-forgotten stories of dinosaurs throughout time.One of the most fascinating things about the geological record is the preservation of our planet's history. It is a history that can be told from many different perspectives at many different scales, ranging from the preservation of raindrops to dynamic times of great calamities, continental upheavals, and biological revolutions. One such revolution occurred nearly 230 million years ago when dinosaurs arose from a group of small agile upright reptiles. This revolution was so successful that dinosaurs dominated terrestrial ecosystems for nearly 170 million years, just as they dominate the air today. Each new dinosaur locality holds a vast array of information that lends insight into the lives of these fantastical creatures, from the preservation of soft tissue to how they lived, breathed, and died.
This talk will take us on a journey through time as we read these long-forgotten stories in stone.
