Before the lecture even started I was already excited to be learning something new because although I had seen this building in passing before I had never gone inside and have never heard anyone talk about it really. So as you may be able to imagine I was a bit shocked when I saw that there was a not just one dinosaur fossil at the entrance but an entire museum of fossils, rock and minerals. I hope sometime in the future that I can make the time to go back and get a visit to see the museum. I thought the presentation put everything together in a single timeline very nicely. In previous lectures speakers have mentioned names that correlate to a certain subject but this was so helpful to put all those names together on a timeline. I loved seeing picture of some of the places we will be visiting while on our trip and getting a little background and suggestions of things to pay attention to while there.
