	[All day event] Sternberg Museum Field Trip to the Late Cretaceous Niobrara Chalk of western Kan Description: As Chief Martin Brody so wearily says in the movie Jaws, “You’re gonna need a bigger boat!” Well, maybe not today, but 85 million years ago you certainly would have! The Western Interior Sea that covered Kansas and most of the Midwest during the Late Cretaceous was filled with sea creatures that would have haunted the dreams of the most wayward fisherman, including the “Jaws-sized” Ginsu shark. Fortunately for us, although these creatures are no longer living, they might still be found lurking beneath the prairie sod and chalk in western Kansas. Go on expedition to the fossil-rich Niobrara Chalk of western Kansas with Mike Everhart (Adjunct Curator of Paleontology) and Reese Barrick (Sternberg Director) to discover the allure that coaxed the Sternberg Family to devote their lives and careers to the prehistoric life of this seemingly desolate territory known as the High Plains! In addition to learning about the Sternberg Family and fossils of the Niobrara Chalk, you will receive guided tours of three museums (Fick Fossil and History Museum, Fort Wallace Museum, and Keystone Gallery) as well as visit picturesque Monument and Castle Rock. We will depart from Sternberg Museum at 8:15 a.m. and return by the end of the day. What to bring? Sack lunch, snacks, plenty of water, comfortable shoes (no open-toed shoes), sunscreen, hat/cap, and bandanna Fee – Museum Members – $25 adults, $15 youth (10 and under); non-members – $40 adult, $30 youth Registration is required (deadline June 21) and space is limited – contact Brian at 785-628-5502, brian.c.bartels@gmail.com to register or for more information.
