presents
21st Century Tools for Studying Ice Age Art
Friday, October 22nd, 8:00 pm
With Special Guest Lecturer
April Nowell, Ph. D
Professor and Chair of Anthropology
University of Victoria, British Columbia
More than 40,000 years ago humans began to paint animals, mysterious symbols and even people on cave walls. For over a century, researchers have been interested in how these images were created and what they might have meant. Drawing on Dr. Nowell’s most recent work in Australia and Europe, this lecture will look at the science behind the art, and how it is leading to a new understanding of the lived lives of Ice Age peoples including children and teens.

Does the recently discovered and controversial "Dueling Dinosaurs" fossil provide proof of the validity of Nanotyrannus as a species vs classification as a juvenile T. rex? Without a doubt according to Robert and his colleagues Dr. Robert Bakker of the Houston Museum of Natural History and Pete Larson of the Black Hills Institute.
Nanotyrannus is the rarest and most enigmatic of the Late Cretaceous tyrannosaurids. Its sleek build, smaller size, and powerful legs made it an exceptionally agile and lethal predator. "Tara" is one of only three of her kind yet discovered, and is the only fully mounted skeleton of this fascinating dinosaur.
