Presenting Prehistory: The Land Before Hell Creek: Investigating the Endemic Fauna of Western North America at the End of the Mesozoic Era with Dr. Guilio Panasci, Museum of the Rockies @ Museum of the Rockies
Mar 6 @ 5:30 pm – 7:30 pm

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.
