About this Event
Participate in this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity: help bring a dinosaur to life at UND! No prior experience or tools are necessary, and you do not need to be affiliated with UND to participate – all are welcome! Everyone is invited to be involved with this hands-on endeavor.
Since February 2024, 130+ participants from UND, Grand Forks, and the surrounding community—including community volunteers who have come from as far away as Bismarck and Bemidji—have dedicated their time to joining the collaborative efforts.
The main project is to clean and stabilize the bones of a duck-billed dinosaur called Edmontosaurus, which Dr. Paul Ullmann and Dr. Kristyn Voegele’s research team brought back from Montana in October 2023. They also have a portion of a Triceratops frill (the big sheet of bone that extends off the back of the head) that needs to be prepared, giving us two dinosaur species to work on!
Fossil Prep Sessions are held weekly on Wednesdays from 2:30-4:30 p.m. and Fridays from 2-4 p.m. and 4-6 p.m.
