My first endeavor in the world of
paleontology. I helped clean and
catalog the tracks at the Heritage
Museum of the Texas Hill County.
I'm sitting next to a track of some form
of iguanodontid, possibly
Tenotosaurus. I'm wearing the first in
a series of hats.

For many years I have had the
pleasure of working with Texas
Dinosaur celebrity, Dinosaur
George Blasing. We owned a
company called Dinosaur World.
George is now the star of a new
show on The History Channel
called "Jurassic Fight Club."
Check it out!
BTW I finally found a hat that I
like. George doesn't really have
that much hair. At least not on his
head.

And now we see an
enthralled audience at one of
my lectures at the Valley of
Fire State Park, NV. This is
one of my favorite places in
Nevada and the fine folks out
there gave me my start
lecturing in the Desert
Southwest. It's a beautiful,
natural location, not too far
from my home in Las Vegas.
By this time the black hat has
become my trademark.

Here I am trying to find
520,000,000 year old trilobites
under a tree near Pioche, NV
in March of 2009. I joined the
Utah Friends of Paleontology
and the Nevada Friends of
Paleontology on a bug hunt.
I found several trilobites on
that day. If you're interested
in joining either of these
organizations just click on
the links and it'll take you to

Since 2007 The Nevada
Friends of Paleontology
(NFOP) has been running a
dig at the Gilcrease Bird
Sanctuary in NW Las Vegas.
It has been my pleasure to
take part in these digs. Our
target is late Pleistocene
(around 17,000 years old)
mammal remains and
possibly Paleo-Indian
artifacts. Here I am in the fall
of 2009 holding the tooth of a
young mammoth that I just
uncovered.

Cap'n Dave's Dinosaur
Lectures and Shows, LLC is a
proud sponsor of the annual
UNLV GeoSymposium. The
symposium is student-run and
designed to provide graduate
and undergraduate students
with an opportunity to present
their original research and
receive feedback from
industry, civic, and
government professionals, as
well as academic experts. In
the past I've had the honor of
judging undergraduate
research projects and to attend
the symposium's field trip to
the dinosaur site at the Valley
of Fire State Park.

What does a Dino-nut like
Cap'n Dave do on vacation?
He visits famous dinosaur sites
and museums. Here is Cap'n
Dave at the world famous
Cleveland-Lloyd Quarry near
Price, UT. Thousands of late
Jurassic dinosaur bones have
been found at the site. The
mystery is how they got there.
The bones are disarticulated
(that means they're not
together in a complete
skeleton), but almost none of
them are crushed or broken. If
this was a predator trap one
would expect a lot more
damage to the bones. BTW I'm
standing next to a
Camarasaurus leg in this
photo.
