January 2025 Program:
Presented by Maxine Dearborn & Bob Knox
Come join Maxine Dearborn and Bob Knox as they explore the wonderful world of poop! Fossilized poop, that is! Or, more accurately, Coprolite. See the many different specimens they have collected and learn about their origins, sizes, shapes and more. Also on display will be a very large specimen owned by club member Kai Kalma that he found in Green River, Utah which contains fossilized dinosaur bones that tells us this coprolite came from a meat eating predator. A fun presentation not to be missed.
