The South Dakota Discovery Center is hosting a Discovery On Tap! event tonight (March 17, 2023) from 5:30-7:30pm at the St. Charles Lounge in Pierre (207 E Capitol Avenue).
Ed Welsh with Badlands National Park will transport participants to the Badlands to look at prehistoric South Dakota. A paleontologist by trade, Welsh says the Badlands have provided major contributions into the history of the science of paleontology and understanding life during the middle of the Age of Mammals.
His presentation, “The Badlands and Prehistoric South Dakota,” looks at the Badlands and its place in the geologic and natural history of our planet. After his talk, Welsh will take attendees on a brief walk into deep geologic time, looking at the short history of life on Earth using a portable geologic time scale. With every inch representing one million years of time, we gain a true perspective of the progression of life on Earth, our place in it and where we might go from here.
