This lecture and tour are all about Equine Navicular Syndrome, which was always thought a result of breeding practices. But maybe it is not! Dr. Thompson and fellow researchers examined 207 skeletons, ranging in age from 20,000 to 3.5 million years old, from four sites in North America. She will discuss how the research was done, the findings, and the current work. On the tour we will visit the vertebrate paleontology collection at the Idaho Museum of Natural History, which has over 100,000 fossil specimens of animals that roamed Idaho from 8,000 to 270 million years ago.
