Event Navigation
On Tuesday, December 10, at 6 p.m., Rogers State University assistant professor Dr. Chris Shelton will discuss his experiences and research projects conducted while living in South Africa.
Based at the University of Cape Town, Shelton worked with fossilized bone tissue of animals called Therapsids, which are older than dinosaurs. This free program will interest scientific minds!
“Shelton holds a doctorate in vertebrate paleontology/paleohistology from the University of Bonn in Germany. Shelton’s earth science courses at RSU explore prehistoric life and its evolution through geologic time. The combination of geology and biology, known as Paleohistology, unlocks evolutionary knowledge by investigating bone microstructures. His travels and research in countries around the world have allowed him to share unique perspectives based on real-world experiences students couldn’t otherwise experience from just reading a textbook.”
