SUMMARY:Fairy Lake Fossil Hike\, Museum of the Rockies
DESCRIPTION:Did you know that the Bridger Mountains are full of 300-million-year-old ocean fossils? Join MOR Education Specialist\, MaggieJo Widdicombe and MSU geologist Dr. Devon Orme for a day of exploring the backside of beautiful Sacagawea Peak in search of crinoids\, corals\, and stromatolites.\nThis hike will be strenuous and cover five miles on foot with the option to summit Sacagawea Peak. Please wear solid hiking shoes. Bring a sack lunch and snacks\, as well as plenty of water\, and dress appropriately for the weather. The exact location to meet and details will be emailed the week before the trip. Lace up your boots and get ready for a good hike! For those age 18+.

SUMMARY:Presenting Prehistory: What Dinosaurs Can Teach Us About the Evolution of Modern Avian Reproduction Systems with Dr. Jason Hogan
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Jason Hogan\, a recent graduate of MSU’s Earth Science’s doctoral program\, will present his dissertation work on Maniraptoran dinosaur nesting physiology. \nThe vast majority of modern birds incubate their eggs by warming them with adult-generated heat. However\, their closest living relatives\, crocodilians\, all bury their eggs. Dinosaurs help us understand the gap between these two groups\, and through experimentation and remarkable fossil finds we can get an idea of how modern bird reproductive strategies might have come to be. \nThis unique speaker series explores the newest paleontological findings and current hypotheses featuring leading scientists who lead the charge to better understand how life on Earth has changed. After each lecture\, there will be a meet-and-greet with refreshments. \nFree for members; $5/non-member\nRegistration is required \nBio: Jason Hogan earned his undergraduate degree at Duke University and a Master’s in Education from Harvard. He then spent time as an educator\, teaching everything from chemistry to physics to history of science. Later he pursued his Ph.D. in paleontology at Montana State University. In 2023 he earned the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology’s Romer Prize for his investigations into maniraptoran dinosaur nesting and its relationship to the evolution of modern avian reproductive strategies.

SUMMARY:Presenting Prehistory: "The Story of Birds\," Dr. Steve Brusatte
DESCRIPTION:Join Dr. Steve Brusatte\, paleontologist and Professor of Paleontology & Evolution at the University of Edinburgh\, New York Times bestselling author\, and science consultant for the Jurassic World films\, for a fast‑paced\, story‑filled journey through 150 million years of evolution\, from raptor dinosaurs to the birds outside your window. Along the way\, he’ll spotlight the big twists of deep time\, asteroid‑level plot turns\, mass extinctions\, shifting climates\, and the surprising origins of Earth’s most dazzling flyers\, drawing from his newly published book\, The Story of Birds. \nAfter the lecture\, there will be a meet-and-greet book signing with refreshments. The Story of Birds will be available for purchase at the event. \n5:30 p.m. | Hager Auditorium\n$0/member; $5/non-member\nRegistration is required

SUMMARY:Blackfeet Mythology and Dinosaurs with Dale & Patty Fenner
DESCRIPTION:Through mythology and archaeology\, this talk will connect disparate-seeming topics: paleontology\, archaeology\, mythology\, and the Blackfeet Nation. Dale and Patty were raised on the Blackfeet reservation\, and both have a love for History\, Blackfeet Art\, and Tribal Historical Preservation.
