MILES CITY, MONTANA: Miles Community College (MCC) Speaker Series is pleased to host a one-hour presentation by MCC Instructor Dr. Daigo Yamamura titled “Dinosaurs in Eastern Montana” on Friday, February 24 at 3:30pm in the MCC Library. The event is free and open to the public.
Join Dr. Yamamura as he discusses the rich paleontological resources in Eastern Montana, where iconic dinosaurs including the Tyrannosaurus rex and Triceratops have been discovered. Many well-known institutions including the Museum of the Rockies and Field Museum frequent the vast area to “dig” for dinosaurs. Additionally, fossils from this region are displayed in museums across the nation as well as international museums, both as traveling and permanent exhibits.
During his presentation, Dr. Yamamura will discuss the wealth of the paleontological resources found in Eastern Montana, laws regarding those resources, and the potential use of fossils from the area to enhance science classes at both the college and community level.
This presentation will also be available online via Zoom (link here: bit.ly/MCCSpeakerSeriesZoom).
