ESCONI General Meeting 8:00 p.m. College of Dupage,  – Tech Ed (TEC) Building, Room 1038B (Map)

Roy Plotnick, Phd, University of Illinois Chicago Geology Department, will speak on Experimental Paleontology – Paleontology is  usually viewed as the antithesis of an
experimental science. But in at least two areas, fossil
preservation and functional morphology, there is a long history of
experimental research. This talk will focus on experimental
studies of the functional morphology of brachiopods, crinoids, and
Ediacaran fronds.
