Burpee's 10th PaleoFest

["Williams, Scott" <Scott.Williams@burpee.org>]

Greetings all,

I hate to shamelessly plug for Burpee, but this upcoming March 1st and 2nd 
(Sat/Sun), we are hosting our 10th Annual PaleoFest.  Hard to believe we've 
done 10 of these now.  Our 1st PaleoFest was in 1999, when gas was $1.20 a 
gallon, Bill Clinton was still president, and DVD players were the wave of the 
future.  As most of you know, PaleoFest is speaker's series for general 
audiences and weekend of hands-on stuff for the kids.  This year we have an 
all-star line-up of speakers, below is a list and brief description of their 
talks; 

1) Philip Currie- Chinese Theropods and Mapusaurus 
2) Jack Horner- Dinosaur Ontogenies 
3) Eva Koppelhus - Paleoenvironment of Dinosaur Provincial 
4) Jim Kirkland- Cretaceous Utah 
5) John Foster- Mygatt-Moore Bonebed
6) Jean-Bernard Caron - Burgess Shale Revisited 
7) Matt Bonnan - Evolution of the Sauropods 
8) Robert Reisz- Permian Tetrapods from Oklahoma
9) Chris Bennett- Evolution of the Pterosaur Wing and Gigantism 
10) Josh Mathews- Taphonomy of a Triceratops "Bonebed"
11) Me- Review of 2007 Burpee Expeditions 

In addition to all these great talks we will be unveiling our mounted juvenile 
Triceratops skull on Saturday (March 1st) evening.  There will also be a few 
silent auctions and we are going to produce a small abstract volume to 
commemorate our 10th.

Hope to see you there,
