Two months ago, I had the privilege of attending Paleofest, the
yearly Paleontology symposium at the Burpee Museum in Rockford, Illinois. The
Master of Ceremonies remains Scott Williams, now at the staff of the Museum of
the Rockies, and once again there was an excellent variety of speakers. There
was no particular theme this time, predominantly dinosaurs but with a fair
amount of other paleolontology. While
there was mostly American paleontology, other continents were represented in
some talks. Unfortunately, my camera malfunctioned, so if you want pictures,
please contact my and Scott’s friend Todd Johnson for his excellent
photojournalism.
