Mammal evolution topic for January Saturday Club
The January edition of the Tate Geological Museum’s popular Saturday Club will examine “Mammal Evolution” on Saturday, Jan. 4, from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m.
Taught by Russell Hawley, education specialist, club attendees will delve into the world of fossil mammals. “We’ll look at the way that scientists examine fossil bones, jaws and teeth to determine what ancient mammals ate, how they moved, and where they lived,” said Hawley. Students will then dissect real owl pellets to discover mammal fossils of their own.
Saturday Club is free and open to children ages 7-14. The Tate Geological Museum is located on the southern end of the Casper College campus; look for the life-sized T.rex bronze near the Tate or call the museum at 307-268-2447.
