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.
Here's George's website:

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 their pages.

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.

| Cap'n Dave is also a Certified Volunteer Animal Handler for the Roos-N-More Zoo in Moapa, NV. |
In 2010 Cap'n Dave said to himself
"all the animals I work with have
been dead for 10,000 to 530 million
years. Maybe I should also work
with some live animals as well." So
Dave became a certified animal
handler and educator at the
Roos-N-More Zoo in Moapa, NV.
Here he is with his buddy Sleestak
the Savannah Monitor Lizard (who
on the whole does not like to be
held).
And if you're wondering why Dave is
so dirty, well he just spent 3 hours
cleaning the otter pool. The otters
helped though.
