Paleontological Artist

Jonathan has wanted to be a paleontologist since he could talk, so when we got to go see a wonderful dinosaur exhibit at the Natural Museum of History in LA over spring break - you can imagine how thrilled he was. He got to see a paleontologist working on removing a rib bone from a cast. He got to see a life size puppet show about a T-Rex and how they found their food as well as some great exhibits of skeletons (casts).
Now Jonathan has decided that he would like to be a Paleontological Artist. This is a new career we are learning about. These artists interpret scientific evidence to create visual pictures of prehistoric creatures. So any dinosaur picture you see was created by this type of person. He also wants to be a professional skier on the side;)
