The annual National Fossil Day event at the Alabama Museum of Natural History will be held in Smith Hall on November 2, 2024 from 2pm until 3:30pm. This year's theme is "Dinosaurs". There will be exhibits by many different groups (including BPS), and some fossil give-aways. Since BPS is the only group in Alabama to ever find a new species of dinosaur, we will have some never-before-seen pictures from the dinosaur dig, and some short dig videos will be showing at our exhibit table.
Prior to that, at noon in the Math and Science Building Auditorium, the Birmingham Paleontological Society will receive the 2024 Alabama Avocational Paleontologist Award. Following the award, the documentary “WHY DINOSAURS?” will be shown, and the producer will be available afterwards for Q&A.
