SUMMARY:Dinosaur CSI: Who or What Murdered the Dinosaurs?
DESCRIPTION:
 In conjunction with National Fossil Day, "Dinosaur 
 CSI: Who or What Murdered the Dinosaurs?" 
 will be presented by Ralph E. Taggart, professor 
 in the departments of Geological Sciences 
 and Plant Biology at MSU.\n
 \n
 Taggart's passion 
 is the reconstruction of ancient environments, 
 weaving fossil studies into realistic 
 snapshots of ancient worlds and the plants and 
 animals that lived in them. One of his favorite 
 case studies involves dinosaurs: these always-captivating 
 creatures dominated life on 
 land for over 150 million years, yet 66 million 
 years ago, all of them, except for birds, 
 disappeared. For many, the obvious suspect in 
 this dinosaur homicide is an asteroid that 
 collided with the Earth at just that time, but 
 murder investigations are rarely that simple. 
 Taggart will take visitors through a network 
 of clues that reveal some totally unexpected 
 "partners in crime".\n\n
