Presenter: Josh Mathews
A River of Dinosaurs! A Decade of Digging at the Late Jurassic Hanksville-Burpee Dinosaur Quarry, Utah
The Hanksville-Burpee Dinosaur Quarry, located on land administered by the Bureau of Land Management, is a sauropod dinosaur dominated bonebed in the Jurassic age Brushy Basin Member of the Morrison Formation in south central Utah. Field crews from Burpee Museum located the site in 2007 and have been excavating it for almost 15 consecutive summers since its discovery. The bone-bearing unit extends more than 1 mile to the northeast and is interpreted as a mass accumulation of fossils deposited within a braided-river system. To date, well over 1,000 fossils have been recovered from the site representing at least 9 different species of dinosaurs as well as crocodiles, turtles, bivalves and plants. Learn the history of the site and what has been discovered in the last 15+ years of digging!
Romance isn’t just for humans. Learn about the weird and wonderful ways paleontologists think dinosaurs wowed potential partners.
About Art of the Earth: Learn how artists and scientists can work together to create a visual representation of a time on Earth we have never seen before: Paleoart! Learn how to draw a T-rex or Allosaurus using modern models, skeletons, and research. Imagine a mammoth and learn how artists recreate amazing prehistoric worlds through sculpture, video, painting, and more! Classes are taught by Burpee Museum resident artists. Examine plants, skulls, and animals up close and learn techniques that bring nature to life in your art!

There are some living organisms on Earth that can live and survive in some pretty extreme conditions; the heat of a volcanic vent or the frozen landscape of Antarctica. These organisms may just hold the secret to life in space and on other planets. In this session students will learn how other creatures can help human engineers.

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.
