Zoom in from the comfort of your home to experience Kim Adelson’s presentation: Dinosaurs Amongst Us.

Virtually all paleontologist now agree that birds evolved from dinosaurs, and even more strikingly, they also even go so far as to argue that birds are, in fact, living dinosaurs. The flood of new data coming from newly discovered fossil beds — primarily from China and eastern Europe — has only solidified that position. Come learn about the structural and behavioral similarities between birds and the more “classic” dinosaurs they evolved from. We guarantee that you will not only be surprised as to how dinosaur-like birds are, but also how very bird-like dinosaurs were.  You will never think about T. rex in the same way again!
