Peter Nolan's multimedia presentation
was a impressive program enjoyed by all.

Also in August Miss. Dena Hundley and I will be conducting a class on dinosaur teeth for The Southwest Gem and Mineral Society.  We examine the teeth of several different types of dinosaurs to illustrate the distinct differences in their design and how they assist us in determining their diet and lifestyles.  Each member of the class received a tooth to classifying and identify as herbivores or carnivores teeth types.
