Digging Up Dinosaurs in Montana

Aired on January 10, 2019

Join World Footprints as we embark on an exciting journey in Big Sky Country, Montana, where we uncovered new dinosaur fossils and other incredible treasures. Our recent trip offered a hands-on experience in paleontology, making it an adventure of a lifetime.

Highlights of Our Dinosaur Dig:

  • Discovering New Fossils: We had the thrilling opportunity to discover new dinosaur fossils, adding to the rich paleontological history of Montana.
  • Working on “Carl”: We spent time with a previously discovered dinosaur named “Carl,” covering him with a fresh “jacket” of plaster to protect his remains.
  • High-Tech Dino Lab: Our visit to the state-of-the-art Dino Lab allowed us to assist in processing dinosaur fossils, giving us a glimpse into the meticulous work involved in paleontology.

Playing paleontologist

Playing paleontologist for a few days was both fun and educational, but we quickly learned that the work is incredibly demanding and physically taxing. This adventure gave us a new appreciation for the dedication and effort required in the field of paleontology.
