Join paleontologist Dr. David Krause from the Denver Museum of Nature & Science in this morning lecture exploring his groundbreaking fossil discoveries from Madagascar's Late Cretaceous period. Discover the island's extraordinary prehistoric creatures, including snaggle-toothed dinosaurs, pug-nosed crocodiles, basketball-sized frogs, and mammals with distinctive swiss-cheese skulls that Dr. Krause and his team have unearthed during field work spanning over three decades since 1993. Learn about the scientific significance of these remarkable fossils while also exploring the humanitarian aspects of paleontological fieldwork, including how Dr. Krause's team has contributed to local communities by building schools, developing sustainable food sources, and providing healthcare to children in remote field areas. Gain insights into both the paleontological treasures of Madagascar and the important community partnerships that make such scientific discoveries possible.
