About
Our Lab
The Rocky Mountain Dinosaur Resource Center is home to one of the largest
fossil preparation labs in the world. Here, paleontologists and Paleo
Technicians painstakingly remove rock and glue from fossils in order to ready
them for display. In some cases, the most important of these fossils are later
molded so their casts may be displayed in museums around the world. Working on
specimens new to science is a common occurrence.
Current Projects
Our paleo
preparation
projects are assigned priority based the condition and uniqueness of the
fossil. We document every step of the process, including chemicals and glues
used, what tools were used, and how many hours were spent on each bone. Here is a listing of our
current projects and dates for which they are expected to be completed:
Past

our previous projects may be seen on display at the RMDRC as well as museums
