Everything Dinosaurs on the Rocks is a lecture series filled with basic and local Colorado foothills geology and a literal ton of dinosaur knowledge all in one place! Join us in person OR online via Zoom for the entire series. Can’t attend during the morning? Not an issue! We record the sessions and will send you a link to the recording so you can watch on your own time.
Education Programs Director Erin LaCount will lead the paleontology-themed lectures, and Education, Collections, and Camp Coordinator Amanda Rea will lead the geology-themed lectures. Each lecture is 1.5 hours long.
Registration Bundle: $65 (includes all 14 lectures; schedule/links provided via email after registration).
Individual Sessions: $5/session. Pick and choose the information you wish to glean (links provided after registration).
The in-person location for the lectures is the Dinosaur Martin G. Lockley Discovery Center, NOT the Main Visitor Center. The lectures take place in a downstairs classroom. If you would like to attend but foresee an accessibility concern, please contact us and we will move the lecture to an accessible room. The Martin G. Lockley Discovery Center is at Red Rocks Entrance #1, the first building on the right:
17681 W. Alameda Parkway
Golden, CO 80401
Online, the lectures will be made available in two ways: in-person will be via Zoom and a link will be provided for each lecture after registration. After the event date will be via Vimeo with a video link and password for access, and a link will be sent after registration.
