Full event details

Stop by to learn more about how the Chicago Archaeopteryx reveals the evolutionary link between dinosaurs and birds with Dr. Jingmai O’Connor, Associate Curator of Fossil Reptiles at the Field Museum of Natural History.


Learn about Archaeopteryx, the oldest known bird, from its initial discovery to its perch as the icon of evolution. Discover why, after 164 years of research on a dozen specimens, the Chicago Archaeopteryx (lucky #13) still has much to teach us about the biology of this iconic species and the transition from dinosaur to dinosaur-bird.
