SDSM&T Paleontology Club

Hey Paleo Friends!
Paleontology Grad Student and Club member, Rudy Hummel has put together an educational event with Makoshika State Park, a two-hour Livestream of the videogame Saurian, a realistic dinosaur survival simulator that takes place in the Hell Creek ecosystem. During gameplay, Rudy will be discussing the science and programming behind the game with Dr. John Scannella, Dr. Holly Woodward, and two of the game's developers. A fun way to explore science, paleontology, and videogames.

The stream will run from 3 pm to 5 pm mountain time on Tuesday, October 27th.

Over 15 new members signed up so far! Can’t wait to see what this semester brings. Enjoy this photo of our Vice President NOT licking a mosasaur vertebrae

Howdy, Hardrockers and welcome back, from your Paleontology Club 2020 officers! We’re so excited to see what we can SAFELY accomplish this semester as an organization! Unfortunately, our last semester was cut short, but that didn’t stop us from holding zoom meetings and keeping in touch as much as possible! Before the in person semester came to an end, we were lucky to get the opportunity as an organization to be invited to Rushmore caves and identify invertebrate fossils on the cave walls! Fall 2019, we were lucky to have a very productive semester, and hopefully Fall 2020 brings the same! Come visit us Tuesday at the Org Fair! Hope to see you there!

Awesome weekend in Thermopolis WY, had some snow trouble but ultimately made it through ok.

Good job guys, three vertebrae down, three (or more) to go!

Meeting tomorrow @5:00, be at the Paleontology Research Lab pray for no rain

Success at the org fair, can’t wait to meet all of our new members

First meeting of the new semester this Wednesday @ 5:00, come to the paleontology research lab

Excellent day at the Paleontology Club Prep Saturday! SDSMT students learned from Preparator and Lab Manager Kelsie Abrams how to make cavity mounts for fossils.

Hey Paleo’s, little reminder about tomorrow’s Prep Saturday. Come to PRL at 11:00 and learn how to house fossils.

Great day at the Dino Eggstravaganza! Thank you to our wonderful community for coming to the Museum of Geology, and thank you Museum of Geology for allowing the SDSMT Paleontology Club to volunteer. Hope everyone had fun!
