Extractions: Paleontology Becoming a Paleontologist Search The Web! Museums are the things that support Paleontology. They are the ones who pour in the funding to make digs and research possible. what do museums get in return for all of this? The chance to display some of the greatest things ever found! And we, the public, get the chance to see these wonderful fossils, and therefore learn about them. Those of you who have had a chance to see Paleontology exhibits at Museums can probably remember huge, mounted skeletons that are set up to look just like the beast was when it was alive, without skin of course. If you haven't, you've probably seen pictures. A lot of work goes into getting specimens ready for display. In the lab, (behind the scenes at the museum), fossils are just stored in large drawers, in a systematic order. Most fossils never go on display, they are used strictly for research. Only the coolest, most exciting dinosaurs get displayed, otherwise, the public won't care. Usually just big, scary dinosaurs. Also, newest finds tend to be displayed too. Sometimes, though, the fossils are just too valuable to be displayed. In that case, they can make replicas of the fossilized bones using plaster. That is very difficult work to do, as there can be thousands of "bones" per specimen.

Extractions: For the first time in Hawaii, there is a unique, free, permanent exhibit of dinosaur fossils available for public viewing. These "fossils" are replicas from the originals at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City, which boasts one of the finest and largest collections of dinosaur fossils in the world. Just outside the entrance to the museum stands the dinosaur king, Tyrannosaurus rex. Rex has been the museum's beloved mascot since 1976, and has faithfully watched over the thousands of visitors who pass by him everyday. The following pages have been put together to help you learn more about dinosaurs. There are pictures to look at and print out and color and some information about dinosaurs.

Dinosaur Paleontology
I've expanded the unit into a three week summer field course that I've taught usingthe resources of several museums of paleontology in the American West.
http://www.accessexcellence.org/AE/AEC/AEF/1995/stefanski_dinosaur.html

Extractions: Notes for Teacher: Until recently, dinosaurs were looked upon as sluggish, dim witted beasts dragging their tails in the swamps. With the commercialization of Jurassic Park, young people today have a very different view of dinosaur life, but what they probably do not understand is the process by which scientists have revised their interpretation of the fossil record. This unit is intended to help students engage in and appreciate the process by which we can use the fossil record to gain a better understanding of the life history of dinosaurs. Although the unit focuses on one particular group of organisms, it can serve as an introduction to the more general methods of paleontology. Moreover, it is designed to help students hone their skills in general hypothesis testing so that they will be better prepared for future inquiry into other areas of science. The unit, which I've expanded into a summer field course, does require a great deal of advanced preparation on the part of the instructor. However, tremendous resources exist for teachers to educate themselves about current trends in dinosaur paleontology, and with the help of several informative publications and videos, and the services of several excellent museums (including one accessible on the Internet), the needed background information can be gained more quickly than one might think.

The Real America - Paleontology Tour
Long before paleontology became popular, sites within our region were famous worldwidefor the Many Como Bluff finds are in museums in the US and Europe.
http://www.rmi-realamerica.com/paleo.asp

Extractions: There is a big advantage to viewing the many dinosaurs located within The Real America compared to those in "Jurassic Park." Our dinosaurs are dead and have been for 65 million years. Long before paleontology became popular, sites within our region were famous worldwide for the extremely rich fossil beds and accessible dinosaur skeletons. New and exciting finds are still being made every year, including the first-ever discovery of dinosaur eggs in Montana and the first full-sized Allosaurus in Wyoming. The region was, and is, a true "Jurassic Park." Day 1/2 - Arrive Denver One of the most extensive dinosaur exhibits in the nation is at the Denver Museum of Natural History . Called "Prehistoric Journey," the $7.7 million exhibit will offer visitors a unique look at prehistoric life, following a cobblestone path and entering an "enviroroama" where they’ll be immersed in a 3.5 billion year old landscape.
