The Dunn County Historical Society presents a Paleozoic event

The Dunn County Historical Society is bringing a nationally recognized
exhibit, Trilobite Treasures:Arthropods of the Ancient Seas, to Menomonie.
This exhibition of World Class Trilobite Specimens, by award winning
Palentologist Joseph "PaleoJoe" Kchodl, brings rare and beautiful
Trilobites to life. Join us as we take you back in time.

. Explore the ancient Paleozoic with the fascinating TRILOBITES.
. Trilobites swam the ancient seas 500 Million years ago during the
Cambrian Explosion of life and became extinct at the beginning of the
Permian period - long before the age of Dinosaurs

This is a rare opportunity to experience a high quality educational and
cultural exhibit that covers an introduction to fossils; the types and how
they form as well as the stories fossils can tell us about the natural
history of our world in prehistoric times. The Wisconsin is rich with
fossil history and the Wisconsin state fossil is the trilobite Calymene
Celebra from the Ordovician-Silurian age.

Trilobite Treasures exhibit tours are available for schools, businesses
and other groups. This exhibit complements school science curriculum.
"Paleo Joe" Kchodl is available for school program visits that conform to
national core curriculum standards for GeoSphere - elementary and middle
school grades. For more information visit,

"PaleoJoe" has written the children's Dinosaur Detective books Hidden
Dinosaurs, Disappearance of Dinosaur Sue, Stolen Stegosaurus and adult
books such as A Complete Guide to Michigan Fossils, and A Pictorial Guide
to North American Trilobites. "PaleoJoe's" fourth (in a series a twelve)
