Note that each week is limited to 16 persons so space is limited! Don't wait too long or we will fill up and you will miss out on a great opportunity. Don't be intimidated if you are serious about dinosaurs and willing to learn and do the hard and tedious work required to participate. After 1/1/09 please call for dig space availability 1-406-696-5842 or email us. jrdi@bresnan.net First off, JRDI staff would like to thank all of you for your hard work which allowed us to make some GREAT progress! During week one, we moved a lot of dirt (thanks to Rodney and a back hoe). Most of you had the experience of uncovering new bones. The second week we mapped the site and managed to uncover MORE bones. During the third week, we peeled off bones from the main block for lab prep and created pedestals and jackets for the remaining bones left for next year's excavation. Oh yes, let's not forget the week 3 team managed to find the fourth stegosaur! The bones continue into the hillside with no signs of letting up. From all appearances, we have a stegosaur graveyard! This entire progression is one we could not have done without all of you and we can't thank you enough for that. It's our sincere hope as staff that you all took away an education with this hard work and each year we will continue to add more to the learning experience. 2009 Field Program Work Plans. 8/23/08 During the three weeks of the 2009 Little Snowy Mts. Dinosaur Project we will mainly concentrate on excavation of our stegosaur bonebed, and possibly open up a another site about 30-50 feet along the hill.
