Paleo Field School

[Maury_Irvine@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Maury Irvine)]

For your students and friends who would like a dig this summer consider the
Paleontology Field Program of the Museum of the Rockies (Montana State
University-Bozeman). It is located at the "Egg Mountain" site near Choteau,
Montana, where Jack Horner uncovered dinosaur nests and embryos. 

	This is an outstanding field experience. I have been to the Camp 3 times in
the last 4 years. The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful, the food is
great, the lodging is on site and is in Blackfeet style tipis. I strongly
recommend this experience for anyone with an interest in dinosaurs and in
getting some field experience.

Three programs are available.
	1) A Brief Experience in Paleontology:  a one day experience, well suited to
families whose children are ages 10 and older. Includes instruction in fossil
identification, several hours of badlands exploration for fossils, a tour of
paleontological sites, and lunch.
	2) Introductory Field Paleontology-: A week long session which includes
several types of field paleontology including small tool and hard rock
excavation, prospecting for dinosaurs and other fossils in the badlands, and
gathering geologic data. Also lectures, slide shows, discussions and evening
programs. Minimum age 15.
	3) Advanced Vertebrate Paleontology: A two week long session, similar to 2)
above but with more time to participate in projects in greater depth. Emphasis
is on field techniques and experiences. Minimum age 15.

	Additional information regarding these classes is available from
