DISCOVER A DINOSAUR!
June through August join PaleoWorld Research Foundation’s 2008 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!
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.
