Join Alaskan artist Ray Troll and Smithsonian paleontologist Kirk Johnson on an "epoch" journey through the deep history of the Earth. Experience the perfect blend of science and art as they share captivating photographs, stunning artwork, and enthralling tales from their travels across the American West and North America's Pacific Coast. Their adventures are beautifully captured in the newly published second edition of Cruisin’ the Fossil Freeway (2024), Cruisin’ the Fossil Coastline (2018), and the brand-new children’s book Alaska Dinosaurs, Mammoths, and More (2025). Learn how fossils are hidden in plain sight, sometimes even at 65 miles per hour!
Join the authors for a book signing from 6-7 p.m., followed by the presentation at 7:15 p.m.
