This Curator's Coffee will discuss and present the Museum's year-long Centennial Exhibit, Dinosaur Century. New Mexico has been a magnet to some of the world's legendary dinosaur hunters. Fossils of New Mexico dinosaurs are in the collections of (or on display at) the nation's largest natural history museums, including the Smithsonian, American Museum and the Field Museum. Since the 1980s, the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science has taken the lead in digging up, studying and interpreting New Mexico's dinosaurs. The session will include a walking tour of the Museum's Dinosaur Century exhibit.
Spencer Lucas is Curator of Geology and Paleontology and Chief Scientist at the NMMNHS. He has worked at the Museum since 1988. A graduate of the University of New Mexico and Yale University, Lucas is a paleontologist who specializes in the use of fossils to determine the ages of geological and biological events in Earth history. He is the author of more than 1000 scientific articles.
