The program will be given by
Sarah Horgen - the Education & Outreach Coordinator at the
University of Iowa Museum of Natural History,
and is titled
'The Mahaska County Mammoth Site: Excavation, Research, and Outreach':
Researchers at the University of Iowa are currently overseeing the excavation and associated research of two mammoths in rural
Mahaska County, Iowa. Bones were first uncovered at the site in 2010 by the landowner, who approached the University of Iowa in early
2012 to request assistance in further excavation when it became clear that there were many more bones located at the site. Since April
of this year, the UI Museum of Natural History has been coordinating the
excavation and research efforts at the site, with many UI
departments collaborating on the project and many participants from schools and groups across Iowa. UI researchers will present on the
importance of this discovery and what the associated research may tell us about Iowa during the Ice Age, as well as the educational
and outreach impact of this project for Iowans.
The business meeting will follow at approximately 2:00pm
