Bismarck Area Fossil Dig

Fossil at dig site

Medium

We will be working on a site that preserves a plethora of Hell Creek (67 million-year-old) creatures. Teeth from Tyrannosaurus, bones from Triceratops and Edmontosaurus, plus crocodiles and other creatures abound. This experience will include working at an established quarry site, within easy walking distance of our vehicles. Please read the Bismarck Area FAQ for more details.  No personal vehicles - everyone will be transported to and from the site in vans.
