SUMMARY:On the Heels of Dinosaurs (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:(MD) (Natural History Society of Maryland) Dinosaur tracks and other trace fossils provide important insights into the behaviors\, locomotion\, postures\, and environments of ancient creatures that are often difficult to glean from body fossils alone. Glen Kuban’s presentation will include an overview of the dinosaur tracks\, including basic types of tracks\, where they are found\, and how they are studied and documented. Glen will also discuss his 45+ years of first-hand research on the remarkably abundant\, varied\, and well-preserved dinosaur tracks in Texas\, and various debates and controversies surrounding them.
