Dinosaurs On Ice: Jurassic Dinosaurs From Antarctica

Dr. William Hammer of Augustana College, Illinois, made his first trip in search of fossil vertebrates in the Central Transantarctic Mountains as a graduate student in 1977. Since then he has led six expeditions to Antarctica. In a lecture at the Burke Museum, he will discuss Jurassic dinosaurs, scavenging theropods, a new sauropodomorph, a "beaver-like" tritylodont, a pterosaur or flying reptile, as well as other Jurassic finds from his over 30 years of research into the secrets of Antarctica. Dr. Hammer is currently a professor of geology, the director of the Fryxell Geology Museum, and director of the Center for Polar Studies at Augustana College in Illinois. He is also a research associate of the Field Museum of Natural History.
