Dinosaurs focuses on the evolution and understanding of dinosaur fossil records. Students examine the geologic record and the tools used by paleontologists to determine geologic ages, ancient environments, evolutionary history and extinctions, dinosaurian biology and behavior, and their survival as birds. Mechanisms of global change ranging from plate tectonics to asteroid impact are discussed. This class will have required, all day field trips.
