replying to @Parkasaur @Parkasaur A8) There's never been a time I haven't been wowed, in one way or another, by ALL of my park experiences, but learning about something that I never knew existed- is pretty awesome! #ParkChat

A8. Anytime we see a Trilopod, It always looks foreign and new and unexpected #ParkChat

replying to @Parkasaur @Parkasaur A8: It’s a great enhancement to walk away with something New learned #ParkChat

replying to @Parkasaur @Parkasaur A8) The better for knowing more about the really old history of that piece of land. Finding more about Pleistocene fossils makes the current landscape come alive in an imaginative way with the now vanished beasts or plants. #ParkChat

It broadens my horizons. for example, to learn that horses originated in North America, then to migrate across the Bering Land Bridge only to be brought back here by Spanish explorers, which now roam parts of the US. #ParkChat

replying to @Parkasaur @Parkasaur #parkchat A8 with two boys in tow, learning about new dinosaurs and ancient animals is always a highlight, and gets talked about for weeks after! They even break out their cameras for those.

(9) Check out some of these great stories of kids and fossils in the parks: https://t.co/JZPUmVbMbM Do you have a child in your life who is inspired by fossils or fossil-based Parks? #ParkChat

replying to @Parkasaur @Parkasaur The irony is that I'm a human geographer. So I don't study climate, but certainly understand and appreciate its role in human life. #ParkChat

replying to @Parkasaur @Parkasaur @59NationalParks The Quarry Visitor Center @DinosaurNPS is not only a fabulous place to see fossils, but also a great expression of mid-century modern architecture. We’ve been twice in the last 6 years. #parkchat

replying to @wander_filled @wander_filled In that regard, seeing the broad plains in Grand Teton and the West, watching the antelope that exist and the speed they developed when they were chased on that land by a now extinct relative of the cheetah. #ParkChat

replying to @Parkasaur @Parkasaur 9- of my 3, no. They love animals & history, just not so far back. I’m sure they’ll come around, but the interest isn’t quite there yet. Don’t get me wrong, they still love the experience. #parkchat

A9: I have a friend's son who is all into learning. He isn't necessarily into fossils, but loves learning about science-related things. He has gone to the Great Salt Plains in Oklahoma a few times to dig for crystals. #ParkChat

replying to @Stars252525 @Stars252525 @FlorissantNPS It was really @FlorissantNPS that truly inspired me to try visiting all the #nationalparks! If @FlorissantNPS could be that amazing - how many other amazing places must there be in the National Park System! #ParkChat

(10) Are fossil-based parks an important part of the National Park System for you? Or should the Park Service simply focus on preservation and scientific research at fossil-based parks? #ParkChat

replying to @Parkasaur @Parkasaur #parkchat A9 oh my yes! Fossils are the one thing we all agree on and search for! 😁 (@BadlandsNPS pictured)
