Thanks, Jeff!

Today we're thanking Jeff for his generous donation of another bag of plaster. We've now used ~18 bags of plaster, and the biggest jobs are yet to come. With at least 3 huge jackets and many smaller ones, we're on track to use at least 30 bags this year! At around $17/bag, it's not an inexpensive item, so every bag donated is a big help and very much appreciated. So thank you, Jeff. We hope you'll join us again soon!

A jacket this size will easily require 10 bags of plaster of paris! We may have 3 this size!

About This Project

Work alongside paleontologists as we collect, excavate and document the fossilized remains of the ancient ecosystems of Montana and Wyoming's Bighorn Basin. This year we're focusing on Jurassic (145 million yr old) sites, excavating dozens of juvenile Diplodocus bones at one, and Allosaurus, Apatosaurus, and crocodiles in another. Join us for a week this summer on the excavation!

Can't join us? Support us by sponsoring a fossil jacket or donating to help us purchase supplies! See below!
