Have you ever wanted to dig up real dinosaur bones?
Every summer, crews from Burpee Museum lead expeditions to the Badlands of Utah and Montana to participate in fossil excavations. Team members prospect for new bones eroding out of the hills, learn how to properly excavate fossils and how to protect them for their journey back to the Burpee paleontology lab where they will be cleaned by skilled fossil preparators for research and exhibit.
No Experience Needed
No Experience is needed to join the team. Our paleontologists will provide hands-on training in the field on how to recognize dinosaur bone and proper excavation techniques to safely remove them from the rock.
