Dinosaur dig

Jessica Martin, Georgia Southern University, will lead the PWRF 2008 field season. Many of you know Jessica through her outstanding field work with the PWRF research team since 2004. Jessica has served as assistant field leader and is extremely knowledgeable and has a strong record of conducting field research with students and the general public. Jessica is exceedingly efficient, talented, a great team player, believes in the PWRF program and most of all, willing to go the extra mile.

As PWRF heads into its 8th year, we stand dedicated to the growth of the program and committed to making science real for people of all ages and backgrounds. We provide a global hands-on learning experience dedicated to advancing public interest, knowledge, and understanding of the science of dinosaur paleontology. All plans set over the winter months will move forward.

One thing is constant – change, but with change comes opportunity!

We look forward to your continued support.

Emma Morris, University of St. Andrews, Scotland will be our assistant field leader. This will be Emma’s second field season with PWRF but is no stranger to the science. Emma the2006 Irvine Prize recipient for her fieldwork has assisted in science outreach programs for the Royal Society of Edinburgh helping to promote sciences amongst primary and high school aged students teaching them about fossils and about geosciences in general.

Our research team Jessica, Emma, Kristen, and Sean, hospitality staff Tim and Judy Lervick, and our landowner are anxious to get started as we continue to work at the Baby Back Triceratops Quarry, hoping to discover more of the animal’s skeleton (red areas: fossil found in 2007, white areas, we are still looking for the legs, hips, and back bones). We will to continue our mapping of the associated rock layers surrounding the site as always, prospecting for new specimens and new dinosaur sites.
