Paleo Site Tours
Get In Contact
The Pioneer Trails Regional Museum in Bowman, North Dakota is providing Paleontology Site Tours for interested individuals who would like to accompany the museum staff when they collect fossil localities. Participants will learn about the local geology, what fossils are present, and the procedures to properly collect them. Visitors will be able to assist in the collecting as well as learning what takes place in the preparation lab upon returning to the museum.
The tours will begin at 8:30 AM MDT by meeting at the museum. A short drive will then be necessary to the field site by your personally owned vehicle. The tour group will return to town around noon. After a noon break, participants will return to the museum in the afternoon to learn the preparation and curation processes. The Site Tour will end around 4:30 PM, unless other previous arrangements were made.
Pre-registration and payment will be required the day prior to the start of the tour. Please call the museum with questions or to schedule a tour at (701) 523-3600.
Waivers of Liability will be required for all attendees.
