The Evolution of
Horses!

NARG is sponsoring a free event for families to learn about fossils, fossil collecting, preparation, identification, and display. There will be informative displays, demonstrations, and educational activities for children.

Lectures are scheduled on fossil horse presence and evolution both locally and worldwide. Perhaps the country’s leading expert of fossil horses, Dr. Bruce McFadden from the University of Florida, will be our esteemed guest lecturer. We will also have a presentation by Nick Famoso, the Chief of Paleontology at the John Day Fossil Monument in Central Oregon. Experts from the northwest universities will also be in attendance.
