This upcoming Saturday on May 7th, 2011, the New Jersey Track and Trace Museum will be setting up a table for the guests at the New Jersey State Museum's Super Science Saturday. Members of the NJTNTM will be answering your questions about New Jersey's Dinosaur Footprints, recent field trips, and preservation efforts across the state. On display will be a wide variety of specimens found across the state of New Jersey from the Late Triassic to the Early Jurassic Period. Everyone will get a chance to see one of the smallest dinosaur theropod tracks ever found in New Jersey and perhaps could be the 4th smallest in the world!! You will even get to see the very large Dilophosaurus tracks that have been found measuring over a foot in length!! All specimens seen have been collected by the staff of the NJTNTM.
In addition the NJTNTM will be setting up a wide variety of smaller dinosaur tracks from New Jersey in collaboration with the Delaware Valley Paleontological Society. Stop by their exhibits and see how you can get involved with one of the most highly recognized fossil clubs in the nation and get out in the field on group fossil collecting trips in your area. Note: All our members of NJTNTM are actively involved with local clubs such as the DVPS to help educate and encourage new individuals to get interested in their prehistoric past. If you are interested in fossils at any level this is a great place to learn and get involved in paleontology. So please support your local fossil clubs as you enjoy your trip through the New Jersey State Museum and sign up for a new membership.
Attached is a link to all of the organizations that will be making Super Science Saturday a very fun and exciting event. Please stop by and enjoy your day at the New Jersey State Museum. We will see you there!!
