Kids' and
Teens' dig
2001
Hey kids! Ever wonder what it would be like to track down a dinosaur - maybe even discover a new species? No need to travel back in time! Join us for a real-life adventure - digging on the Warm Springs Ranch dinosaur dig sites near Thermopolis, Wyoming. Nothing fake about this – it's hands-on science at its best. Dig in the dirt and rock along with our paleo-technicians. So you'll get hot and dusty, so what? Who knows – maybe you'll "strike it rich" with a real fossil find! It's happened before! And while you're at it, we'll teach you a thing or two about fossils and what this area was like when dinosaurs hung out here. Think what a great story you'll have when they ask you what you did on your summer vacation! Between 8 and 12 years old? You qualify for our Kids' Dig. Between 13 -15 years old? Move on up to the Teens' Dig. Parents! Click here to sign up your child for an unforgettable educational experience. |

What are fossil salt-water shells doing on a dry mountain top? |
Maybe this dino claw would look cool with some wild purple nail polish. |
