[Ocees] Fwd: Spinosaurus Lost Giant of the Cretaceous

[Witmer, Lawrence]

Hi all,


Nizar Ibrahim indeed made a big splash a few years ago with his work on new material of Spinosaurus, and I'm sure the talk will be be very entertaining. He even did a TED talk: https://www.ted.com/talks/nizar_ibrahim_how_we_unearthed_the_spinosaurus?language=en&utm_campaign=tedspread&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=tedcomshare


The kicker is that many of the paleo-oriented folks here will be away at that time, attending the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology meeting in Albuquerque, which is a shame


Thanks, Bob, for bringing it to our attention! Best, --Larry

A 50-foot-long carnivore who hunted its prey in rivers 97 million years ago, the Spinosaurus is a "dragon from deep time." Paleontologist Nizar Ibrahim and his crew found new fossils, hidden in cliffs of the Moroccan Sahara desert, that are helping us learn more about the first swimming dinosaur -- who might also be the largest carnivorous dinosaur of all.

Dear Faculty,



One of the candidates for the anatomy search that we interviewed over summer (Nizar Ibrahim), will be giving a National Geographic sponsored talk Friday, October 19, 7 pm, in New Albany, just NE of Columbus. He has offered to get us complimentary tickets for interested faculty and graduate students.  Would anyone be interested?



The link is here:

Could the request be posted to the OCEES list serv? That will make it to the Biomed folks, right? Thanks!



Anyone that’s interested, should send their name directly to me at colvin at ohio.edu<mailto:colvin at ohio.edu>. You will be able to pick up your tickets at the will call booth.



Bob
