3-Part Series: Dinosaur Discoveries Under the Big Sky [View all]

“I feel like I’m living my dream life,” Chloe Witneck, a volunteer and paleohistology assistant at Museum of the Rockies (MOR) said, “I am full of excitement, when I find a new bone or someone else does, and we’re like oh my gosh what is that?”

That spirit of team work and comradery is felt throughout the camp, Sarah Scharff, a field crew chief in Paleontology for MOR, notes that it’s the work that the crew does that leads to incredible discoveries.

“You got a dinosaur out of the ground, you have one of the rarest things in the earth out of the ground, and it’s all because of you and you crew and the people you work with!” Scharff said.

Scharff and Witneck have been out in the field previously, and note the amazing opportunity that the museum offers students.
