When Crocs Ate Dinosaurs

Filed under: Programs - C²ST — Tags: , , — Jillian @ 5:08 pm

The Chicago Council on Science and Technology, National Geographic, and Project Exploration presented:

For a long time, the Age of Reptiles seemed to belong only to its “stars,” the dinosaurs — but not anymore. Thanks to strange fossils coming out of the Sahara and other places, we now know that it was a world full of bizarre and terrifying crocodiles as well — ones that not only rubbed shoulders with the dinosaurs — but sometimes ate them. Welcome to the new crocodile Cretaceous… complete with tiny buck-toothed crocs, dog-like crocs, and terrifying triple-fanged nightmares that probably galloped after dinosaurs. Join C²ST and paleontologist Paul Sereno for an intense scientific journey to breathe life into these long extinct terrors — and recreate a lost world few even imagined existed. (Language © NGT 2009).

Sunday, December 6th at Northwestern University’s Chicago Campus, Thorne Auditorium, 375 E. Chicago Ave.

1 p.m. Members only reception with Dr. Paul Sereno

2 p.m. film screening followed by Q&A with paleontologist Dr. Paul Sereno.

Suggested donation of $5 per person.

$6 parking for the first 100 attendees for the Huron/St. Clair parking garages.
