Here's a reminder for of the Mid-America Paleontology Society (MAPS) Expo. It's on Friday, April 1st through Sunday April 3rd, 2016. Generally known as the world's largest fossil-only show and this year is no different. The theme is the Mezozoic Era. All of the EXPOs are extraordinary affairs, but this one will be talked about for a long time. The keynote speaker is Phil Currie. You know, the famous Canadian dinosaur palaeontologist of the University of Alberta in Edmonton. His wife, Eva Koppelhus, a palaeontologist and palynologist, will also be speaking at the EXPO.
There are opportunities to buy, sell, and swap fossils of all types. Additionally, the list of events includes silent auctions, live auctions, children's activities, programs, and workshops. As always, there will be fun and learning for the whole family.
The show will be held in Iowa City, IA at Sharpless Auctions. That's the same place as the last few years. The show flyer has a map and directions. Don't miss it!
