Triceratops, Edmontosaurus, and Tyrannosaurus are unique dinosaurs that inhabited western North America alongside crocodiles, turtles, and other endemic animals, but how did this fauna come to be established by the latest Cretaceous Period? Tracing back the origin of their environments, paleontologist and MSU’s Department of Earth Sciences Adjunct Professor Dr. Giulio Panascí will share how fossils from the Frontier Formation in Montana document increasing endemism at the end of the Age of Dinosaurs.
MOR's Presenting Prehistory: A Paleontology Lecture Series explores recent paleontological findings and current hypotheses as conveyed by scientists actively exploring how life on Earth has changed. Discoveries made by paleontologists continue to shed new light on the deep past of the planet and the creatures that arose here.
Refreshments will be provided post-lecture during the speaker meet-and-greet.
