THE PROJECT BRIEFLY: (some information about the project itself)
"Since 1993, JRDI has been dedicated to the preservation and education of Montana's rich dinosaur history through our field programs. Our six-day long dig programs are tailored with this mission in mind. If you are serious about any aspect of natural history and love the outdoors, you'll find this a rich learning experience.
Finding and excavating dinosaurs in Montana has come a long way in the last century. Ferdinand Hayden (under John Wesley Powell) found and reported some of the first dinosaur fragments exploring western waterways around 1855. This material was noticed by arch enemies E.D. Cope and O.C. Marsh and it wasn’t long before Montana was recognized as a paleontological hotbed by the most noted of fossil hunters.
Early explorers had more on their plate than just finding dinosaurs. Raiding war parties were a constant threat. Digging and moving bones by horseback, biting insects, and extreme elements made dinosaur collecting a game of sheer survival. The determination of risk takers like Cope, Charles Sternberg, and Barnum Brown brought many “first” specimens to the forefront of paleontology. One such “first” is the 1902 specimen of T. rex found by Barnum Brown near Jordan, MT.
JRDI and team members have been privileged to discover many “firsts” too. You can click on the tabs to read about what makes Elvis, Peanut, Leonardo or Rosie unique among Montana’s dinosaurs. Though we don’t dodge angry war parties, or use horses and dynamite, we have a strong team of people to thank for these dinosaurs’ discovery, excavation and preparation. Some 99% of the greatest dinosaur discoveries made are by amateurs with sharp eyes and a love for the science—not educated noblemen. JRDI continues that tradition…
This summer, the JRDI team invites those interested in dinosaurs, geology, and natural history to participate in a six-day long experience under the big sky of Eastern Montana. Specimens recovered by JRDI are studied by scientists so as to add to the "treasures of human knowledge". Our program is not just for the casual vacationer looking for a day trip but for those who are seriously seeking to learn about the science."
