Scientists at the University of Texas at Austin’s paleontology department have been celebrated for their key discoveries related to dinosaur evolution, particularly the investigation of the colors of dinosaur skin & feathers. The screening of Dinosaur 13, which chronicles the discovery of “Sue,” the largest complete T-Rex skeleton, and the subsequent fight to preserve it for scientific discovery, will be followed by a discussion with one of UT’s key dinosaur researchers, Julia Clarke, Ph.D. Dr. Clarke will speak about the impact of Sue’s discovery and what the fossil record is now helping her and her colleagues to learn about these incredible creatures.
