Unearthing Ancient Treasures: Fossil Hunting in Wyoming's Triceratops Gulch
The Triceratops Gulch Project, a collaborative program between the Paleon Museum in Wyoming and the Morrison Natural History Museum in Colorado, offers summer field sessions for fossil hunting. Participants spend three days digging for fossils in the Lance Formation, which preserves the last days of the Age of Dinosaurs. The project has led to significant discoveries, including new fossils with scientific significance and the potential to change the interpretation of the Lance Formation. The ongoing research aims to increase scientific literacy and awareness of the scope of time and our position in the living world.
