DISCOVER A DINOSAUR!
June through August join PaleoWorld Research Foundation’s dinosaur research expedition in the Badlands of eastern Montana where you can take part in the discovery of a lifetime!
Our expedition searches for 65 million-year-old dinosaurs in a fossil-rich area known as the Hell Creek Formation located near the small town of Jordan, Montana that many call the “Dinosaur Capital of the World”. During past expeditions, we have found fossils of the three-horned Triceratops, the duck-billed Hadrosaur, and the ferocious Tyranosaurus rex.
Unlike many paleontological expeditions that allow only scholars to take part, PWRF promotes the concept of “real science for all people” and encourages the involvement of everyone who has an interest in dinosaurs, no matter their age, background or experience. It is a wonderful opportunity for families, children, students, and adults to take part in a truly unique, educational, and fun dinosaur adventure! Edutainment!
Dig-for-a-Day or spend the summer but make no mistake about it; our program is NOT a tour. Our expedition offers a true 100% hands-on experience to all participants. Upon joining the expedition, you become a PWRF “associate researcher” and you are given the opportunity to learn about and take part in actual field techniques used to find, collect, and preserve dinosaur fossils.
For complete information on our 2009 expedition, visit our website at http://www.paleoworld.org or email us at paleoworld@paleoworld.org.

Reviews for PaleoWorld Research Foundation

| ***** | My husband and I took our daughter in law and her three boys to the dig near Jordan, MT. The boys were aged 9, 6 and 3. The three year old did not go on the dig. He wanted to go, but it would not have been a good idea. It was a great experience. Be sure to stay in Jordan in an air conditioned motel rather than at the ranch. Children and grandparents aways do better when they are comfortable. There are a couple of restaurant/diners and a dino museum in town. This is a rugged isolated area of MT. If you have health problems be prepared to help yourself. I would not trust emergency services to be very available out on the dig site. All three generations of our party thought it was wonderful. We actually got to help uncover the rib bones of a triceratops!! You don't get to do that everyday! | Female older than 55 | 03-05-09 |
