Dinos Among Us! After Hours at the Conservatory of Flowers September 27, 2012

It's time to party in a real life land of the lost! Enjoy locally-crafted libations by Brewtruc, Social Kitchen, and Oro en Paz as you step WAY back in time to the age of dinosaurs at this special after hours event for the 21+ crowd. Check out the Conservatory's newest exhibit, Plantosaurus Rex, a prehistoric paradise of plants from the time of the dinos when giant ferns, spiky horsetails, and primitive cycads grew in lush abundance and fed many of the monstrous reptiles that roamed the earth millions of years ago. Then update what you know from 2nd grade about dinosaurs in a fascinating talk by fossil expert Sarah Werning who will explain how fossilized bone tissue has opened a whole new chapter in the study of dinosaur metabolism, lifespan, and even their sex lives!
