“The Badlands of South Dakota Beautiful but Forbidding," by Richard J. Gentile Ph.D.

Big Muddy Speakers Series (Kansas City) hosted by 
Healthy Rivers Partnership (http://www.healthyriverspartnership.com/),
Lakeside Nature Center (http://www.lakesidenaturecenter.org/), and
RiverRelief (http://www.riverrelief.org/) 
at the Westport Coffeehouse Theater (http://www.westportcoffeehouse.com)
- Tuesday, July 28th, 2015.

Just west of the Missouri River in South Dakota is the Badlands,
a semi-arid region of spires, buttes and inaccessible cliffs in
southwestern South Dakota adjacent to the Pine Ridge Reservation.
The region is also the final resting place for the skeletal
remains of a vast array of mammals that lived in the Late Eocene
Epoch about 30 million years ago. At that time, the climate was
sub-tropical, with lush vegetation and sluggish meandering
streams.

Dr. Richard Gentile, professor of Geosciences at UMKC gives us a
window into a unique world of mud and bone that lies upstream
from Kansas City and share a glimpse into the past of our ancient
watershed.
