Dino Days: Marine Mammals with Paleopathologist Howell Thomas

At the Museum

June 22, 2019 / 11:00 AM–2:00 PM

Join paleopathologist and Research Associate Howell Thomas and investigate the lives of marine mammals by looking at the bones they left behind. Inspect ancient and modern marine mammal bones from the Museum’s collection to make your own educated guesses. Learn to spot the telltale signs of shark bites, healed fractures, and osteoarthritis.
