Ancient Discoveries in the Petrified Forest
Sun, January 18, 2009, Sunday, 1:00–2:30 p.m.
Presented by Jeff Kida
The early and mid-1980's was a boom time at Petrified Forest National Park. Archaeologists and paleontologists roamed the hills, prospected and made amazing discoveries. A diverse mix of scientists from the western United States probed the earth's history, turning back the geological clock to the Triassic Period, 225 million years ago. The scientists made a headline-grabbing discovery, unearthing the world's earliest datable dinosaur. Jeff Kida, photography editor for Arizona Highways, shares his personal story of his introduction to this research community and the excitement of that time.
Prescott lectures are held at Sharlot Hall Museum, 415 W. Gurley Street (two blocks west of Courthouse Plaza). Space at the Prescott lecture series is limited; please call (928) 445-3122 to inquire about seating.
The Grand Canyon Association (GCA) is pleased to present the Canyon Country Community Lecture Series in Prescott, Flagstaff, and Glendale. The Prescott lecture series is cosponsored by GCA and Sharlot Hall Museum.
