Open HouseThe Stout Research Center Laboratory and Collection Hall is open to the public as part of select community and ABDSP events.
ANNUAL OPEN HOUSE 2019 Camels of Anza-Borrego October 19, 1:30-4pm October 20, 9am to noon The modern Anza-Borrego Desert is a treasure trove of camelid fossils and is quite possibly the greatest for any site in North America. In the Anza-Borrego paleontological record, camels are the second-most common group, second only to horses. But their diversity is greater. There are at least eight different forms of camels known. And a wide array of camel and llama tracks are found in extensive trackways in preserved muddy deposits. Visit us at our Open House on Saturday and Sunday to see our featured camel specimens and tracks. We will also be showing our work using 3D scanning and photogrammetry to create digital images and printable models of fossils. In the Paleontology Laboratory we are preparing our latest Mammoth skull, numerous mammoth bones and a giant land tortoise – all will be on display. Meet at the ABDSP Visitors Center for the short walk over to the Stout Research Center. |
