Dinosaur Detectives! at Wheaton Library

How do you find dinosaur fossils? How do you excavate one once you've found it? Is it possible that dinosaurs exist today? Learn the answers to these questions and more as we test our dino knowledge and explore the work of paleontologists. Participants will take home a mini dinosaur bone excavation site to uncover at home. Registration required.
