Dinosaur Expedition Adventure

Finding a dinosaur may be accomplished by one person, but getting a dinosaur out of the ground is always a team effort! 

All the different skills that come together on a paleontological dig will be showcased. Audience members will experience the thrill of digging up a real Triceratops dinosaur bone and then help construct a dinosaur on a large cut-out. The show will feature the skull of an Albertosaurus named Elvis and explore the characteristics of this dinosaur. The program will include audience participation, a touch of magic, show and tell with real fossils and the mystery fossil game show will round out the program.

Recommended age group for program is 4-8 but all are welcome.

No Registration is required! Mike and Roberta Straka have been conducting and managing paleontological digs in North and South Dakota since 1978. Each year, they teach paleontology and geology in elementary schools and libraries throughout NY, NJ, and PA. In addition, Mike is the lead curator for the teams’ fossil collection. Roberta self-published her first children’s book, Roberta’s Wonderful Dinosaur Adventure. They are both excited to share their love of dinosaurs with libraries this summer.
