Evening lectures will cover topics related to the geology, paleontology, and ecology of the site 66 million years ago just before the extinction of the non-avian dinosaurs. Once out of the field, students will spend one lab period a week at the Burpee Museum assisting the staff in specimen preparation and study. This course is part of the conservation and wildlife track.
