Talk by Stanley Hedeen on Big Bone Lick Paleontology
Big Bone Lick State Park — the most famous, fossil-rich area in the Cincinnati region — gave the world the first evidence of several extinct species, including the American Mastodon. Stanley Hedeen, author of a new book on the subject, Big Bone Lick: The Cradle of American Paleontology (2008), brings the history and paleontology of Big Bone Lick to life through discussion and images shown in these videos.
Dr. Hedeen is emeritus professor of biology and former dean of Arts and Sciences at Xavier University, is a member of the Ohio Biological Survey Steering Committee, the Hamilton County Environmental Action Commission, the Cincinnati Museum Center Natural History Advisory Board, the Mill Creek Restoration Project Board of Trustees, the list goes on and on. Hedeen received the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Quality Award for his "professional and community activities which serve to improve the quality of the environment." Hedeen earned a B.A. in Biology from Augustana College in Illinois and a Ph.D. in Zoology from the University of Minnesota.
