Paleontology Field Program

The Museum of the Rockies Paleontology Field Program is the largest in the country, and is equipped to support 5 fully functional field camps.  Large equipment includes 6 heavy duty trucks, 4 ATVs, 5 equipment trailers, 5 cook trailers, and 4 boats.  Three of the camps can utilize high speed satellite internet.  The program also has a satellite uplink station for broadcasting live feed from the field to the museum to be shown in the Mesozoic Media Center.

The Museum of the Rockies occasionally accepts applications for volunteers to work at our dinosaur dig sites. Volunteers must be between the ages of 16 and 60, and commit to at least 3 weeks of work. To learn more or submit a volunteer application, click here.

We thank Nathan Myhrvold (Intellectual Ventures), and the Ameya Preserve for support of our field activities.
