For those of you in the Philadelphia, PA area next week, please consider
attending the following presentation:
_____________________________________________________________________
The Delaware Valley Paleontological Society
(In conjunction with their regular monthly meeting)
Presents: Thomas Lipka "A Survey of
Arundel Clay Paleoecology"
Tom is an electronic technician with the city of Baltimore who in his
"spare" time does geobiological research, oversees and specializes in
fossil recovery from Maryland's Arundel Clay formation, one of the few
Early Cretaceous dinosaur sites along the east coast of the United States.
Examples of his most recent finds over the last decade of the last century
include diverse vertebrate fossils (Mammal jaws w/ teeth, Nodosaur teeth, turtle
scute fragments, croc teeth, gastralia, ribs, tendon fragments,
conifer cones and numerous other bone fragments) and plants. He has
published more on Maryland's Early Cretaceous fossils than anyone since the
pioneering paleontologists of the early 20th century. Tom will bring some
fossils and casts to supplement the talk as most people have YET to see
any Arundel body fossils.
DATE: Thursday, March 28, 2002
TIME: 7:30 P.M.
PLACE: The Academy of Natural Sciences
in Philadelphia, 19th Street and the Benjamin Franklin Parkway. The
