Join internationally acclaimed palaeontologist Dr Dean Lomax for an exciting global virtual classroom exploring the remarkable world of ichthyosaurs — the powerful marine reptiles that dominated Earth’s oceans during the age of dinosaurs. Drawing on his international research and fieldwork, Dr Lomax will share stories from his adventures studying, excavating and helping discover new species of these incredible “sea dragons.” From fossil digs and museum collections to the science that reveals how these animals lived, hunted and evolved, this engaging session offers students a rare glimpse into the life of a working palaeontologist.
Along the way, Dr Lomax will also reflect on his career, research and new book, while highlighting Queensland’s own extraordinary fossil discoveries and the role they play in the global palaeontological story. The event forms part of Queensland Dinosaur Week, celebrating the science, discovery and adventure of our prehistoric past.
