Mark the day in Lexington, KY: 17 Feb, 2011

Dinosaur expert Jack Horner speaking at U K

LEXINGTON, Ky. — A prominent paleontologist who was adviser for the "Jurassic Park" films will speak Thursday night at the University of Kentucky.

The university says Jack Horner's lecture at the Singletary Center for the Arts is titled, "How to Build a Dinosaur: Extinction Doesn't Have to Be Forever," which is also the title of his book.

UK geology professor Frank R. Ettensohn says Horner will be talking about how birds might be used to create modern dinosaurs.

The university says among Horner's discoveries are evidence of parental care by dinosaurs and 75-million-year-old eggs containing embryos from a previously unknown type of dinosaur.
