Dino Days Train Ride

June 13 & 14th

By Diane Sullivan June 12, 2015

Take in the "Dinosaur Show" with Field Paleontologists Mike and Roberta Straka. We will take you on a scientific exploration highlighting the world of dinosaurs, fossils and rocks/minerals. Each summer, the team explores the Badlands of North and South Dakota excavating dinosaurs. This fun-filled wow-factor show will cover the formation of fossils and herbivores vs. carnivores. We will discuss our work as field paleontologist and our background in geology in a relatable way with entertainment, humor, magic and real fossils. The presentation will feature: “Mr. Nixon”, a real eight foot Triceratops skull discovered by our team in 1996 which is 67 million years old! A real Albertosaurus skull will highlight the features of a carnivore. Original music songs, show & tell with rare fossils, a touch of magic which includes a special “egg magic trick”, which segues to presentation of a real dinosaur egg fossil. “Dinosaur Game Show” will round out the show.
