A
World-class

dinosaur bone site. For teachers seeking professional development, for
graduate education students and undergraduate science students Southwestern
Adventist University and Earth History Research Center are
offering the opportunity of a lifetime.
Become acquainted with the history and *taphonomy of
dinosaurs under the magnificent skies of eastern
Wyoming

QUARRY…
…you
will participate, first hand, in the discovery and excavation of
dinosaur bones from Edmontosaurus (a duck-billed dinosaur), Triceratops,

experience cutting-edge technology, teamwork, and leadership with
individuals from a variety of educational backgrounds.

college students meeting these criteria who are interested in
participating in this program.
