Project Exploration Experience
- 1. Project Exploration A Journey Through Time
- 5. We saw dinosaur bones, human skeletons, plaster jackets, and students preparing fossils.
- 6. We also saw the lab where artists make models of the bones and recreate what they think the dinosaurs looked like.
- 7. We learned from Astronomer Mark Hefferman at the Adler Planetarium. I am holding meteorites and a moon rock.
- 8. Finally, we were ready to go to Wibaux, MT. We left from Midway at 4 a.m.!
- 9. Montana is beautiful! This is a view from the Lost in Time Ranch. This is a view from the Lost in Time Ranch.
- 10. The Group Teachers and Scientists in Montana! Teachers and Scientists in Montana!
- 11. We had a three hour drive to the ranch, but we stopped to search for trace fossil leaf imprints at the Clinker Site.
- 12. After a long day, we arrived at the Lost in Time Ranch. It was so luxurious. We were immediately intrigued by the decor.
- 14. We worked with Dr. Jason Moore to collect fossils from a microsite. After, we went to a triceratops site and then went prospecting.
- 15. After prospecting, or visiting any site, we would sit down and write field notes. In our field notes, we include GPS location, observations, and our findings.
- 16. That night we used books to help us identify our finds. We found so many things, including dinosaur bones, turtle and crocodile bones, teeth, and even fish scales.
- 17. I got to help clean a dinosaur bone that I found out in the field. We also found out that dinosaur bones stick to your tongue! Rocks do not. Mm chocolate!
- 18. We also went to the Pierre Shale Formation. This is also part of the Cretaceous Period. Around 72 mya it used to be a marine environment. We found many fossils of marine animals.
- 19. The next couple of days, we prospected in the Hell Creek Formation. We excavated a triceratops bone and we put a plaster jacket on it.
- 20. It was an amazing trip and I learned so much! I already miss Montana!
- 21. A special thanks to Project Exploration and all of the teachers and scientists that made this an amazing experience.
