Mike Triebold, world renowned paleontologist and owner of RMDRC, will speak on how we get dinosaurs out of the ground and to our exhibit halls - where the public can enjoy them and learn more about paleontology. Mike will also talk about our international business, Triebold Paleontology which works out of the lab at the RMDRC. Following Mike is Anthony Maltese, our Curator. Anthony will discuss the amazing discoveries being worked on in the paleo lab and what we are planning for our 2007 field season. This great event is included in the general admission price and FREE to all RMDRC members.

Fun at the Booseum

We had a large turnout for our "Fun at the Booseum" event. Some of the events available to visitors were face painting, pin the tail on the pumkin, a "bone cart" for hands-on fun, and Mad Science was on hand for 3 shows.

All the staff were dressed for the occasion as were many of the visitors.
