Travel to Montana or Utah with Burpee Museum for the adventure of a lifetime! This is your opportunity to join the team that discovered and excavated Burpee's T. rex Jane and still working on recovering Homer, our most recent dinosaur discovery - a juvenile Triceratops. New in 2008 we are excited to take field crews to the Morrison Formation in Utah. Whether you're a seasoned paleontologist or just curious about the past, this trip will be an experience to remember.
If you are not sure if this is for you - come to one of our Orientation Sessions to here more. See below for details.

What will we do?
We'll spend five days prospecting for fossils and discovering specimens to add to the Museum's collection. You'll learn the fundamentals of dinosaur field work including prospecting, excavation, plastering, and working at micro-vertebrate locations.

What will we find?
Past Hell Creek expeditions have uncovered everything from tiny microfossils to entire dinosaurs! A recent Burpee group discovered three promising sites containing Edmontosaurus, Therapod and Triceratops remains in Montana. In the Morrison Formation of Utah we see signs of discovering bone beds containing Stegasaurus, Allosaurus and Apatosaurus.
