This week our young Teratophoneus specimen made the trip to Denver for a sneak-peak screening of the new NOVA special "Making North America" which will air on PBS next month. Terataphoneus shared the stage with DMNS curators Joe Sertich, Tyler Lyson, and Ian Miller who participated in the filming of the special, which is hosted and presented by Smithsonian Natural History Museum Director Kirk Johnson. Judging from the clips we viewed at the event, this special is going to be INCREDIBLE. Can't wait to see the entire 3 part series in November. #denverpaleo #NOVA
Terataphoneus visits Glasscock School in Lebanon, KY
Our sub-adult Terataphoneus accompanied John for a visit with students and teachers at Glasscock Elementary to encourage young students of science and natural history. The school library made an excellent temporary gallery space where we were able to share photos and stories from this years field work with the Laramidia Project in Utah. The insightful questions of these bright students lead to great discussions about the science of nature and the nature of science. We left feeling encouraged, seeing that the next generation of KY's scientists are inquisitive and passionate.
Tarbosaurus baatar at Danville Montessori School
Another great day at Danville Montessori in Danville, KY with some of the most enthusiastic young paleontologists in this field of science. Great observations and great questions. Montessori teachers do an outstanding job teaching scientific inquiry, and their student:dinosaur ratio is incredible .

GARNA talk about evolution and Utah Dinosaurs
It was a real blast talking with folks from the Greater Arkansas River Nature Association this month. Thanks to the many smart folks from the community who turned out and asked thoughtful questions about the dinosaurs. Kosmoceratops and Terataphoneus said that they had a lot of fun too. Thank you to the GARNA elementary school summer camp students for their excellent help setting up the dinosaurs for the talk.
