Challenge: can you spot the *Iguanodon* pelvis in this photo?

Big news: I will be at the Burpee Museum PaleoFest this year. I'm
speaking at 10:30 AM on Sunday, March 8. The title of my talk is, "In
the Footsteps of Giants: Finding and Excavating New Fossils of
*Brachiosaurus* from the Lower Morrison Formation in Utah". Brian Engh,
John Foster, and ReBecca Hunt-Foster are all coauthors.

The main page for PaleoFest 2020 is here
([link](http://www.burpee.org/paleofest2020main/)), and on the right
side of that page there's a block of quick links to the speaker list,
daily schedules, and so on. If you're in the Midwest and not already
booked for the weekend of March 7-8, come on out and I'll talk your legs
off about dinosaurs.

The photo above is of me at a table at the Raymond M. Alf Museum Fossil
Fest on February 8, 2020. It's nothing to do with the Burpee PaleoFest,
I just needed a photo of me talkin' *Brachiosaurus*. And yes, you can
have that t-shirt --- objectively the greatest in the history of the
universe --- when you cut it off my cold, dead carcass. (Or you can
order your own; this model is the "Retro Brontosaurus Dinosaur T-shirt"
by Dinosaur Tees and the Amazon link is
[here](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B076CG28GZ/).)
