Take a quick look at some of our campers’ favorite fossil preparation projects!
Advanced Fossil Prep camp gives students the opportunity to work more independently on larger, more skill-intensive projects under the guidance of our professionally trained staff.

Huge congratulations to current/former instructors @tyrantlzrdqueen.bsky.social, @eury-speir.bsky.social, Dr. Emily Simpson, and soon-to-be-Dr. Jessica McCraw for landing permanent paleo career jobs this summer! Proud of all three of you and excited to see you thrive in your new academic homes!

Some exciting progress being made by our Advanced Fossil Prep students on a Pachyrhizodus fish fossil our Paleo Field Camp group dug up way back in 2018!

New friends and fossils now, colleagues and careers to come! We’re immensely proud of our track record of students and former staff keeping in touch and working with each other long after their Camps experience has ended.

Some highlights from our first session of Fossil Prep Methods camps last month! Among other projects, students had a chance to work on a mostly complete Pachyrhizodus fish fossil! Yours of the Sternberg Museum’s collections as well as lessons on molding and casting were also included.

As always we immensely appreciate the post-camp feedback we get from our students and their parents! With twelve surveys in so far, our staff teams are averaging 9.5/10 scores!

These techniques can be of immense use to students in fields from academic paleontology to veterinary research and beyond!
Across these programs we bring modern and prehistory together as we learn to better understand our world and how it functions!

Some like fossil collections management can help build a tuned resume for seeking museum volunteer and paid assistant positions in college. Others focus on specific research methods and skills such as functional anatomy, data collection+analysis, and how to present one’s findings.

This coming summer our Advanced Fossil Prep programs will be working on a fossil shark, a giant fossil fish, and possibly some fossil elephant material we’re excited to get cleaned. Want to learn more? Check out our website via the link above!

This past summer our Advanced Fossil Prep Methods camp learned how to work on a big jacket fossil! In this case, they cleaned a fossil mosasaur that our 2015 Field Paleontology Kansas group excavated in our second year of operation.
