For 25 years, Southwestern Adventist University has been conducting a dinosaur excavation research project in the Lance Formation of eastern Wyoming. We are quarrying in an extremely rich bone bed, finding the remains of a large number of upper Cretaceous dinosaurs. This project provides an exciting opportunity to learn advanced quarrying techniques and experience the joy of discovery for everyone who participates.

Why Give to the Southwestern Adventist University Dino Dig App and Hanson Ranch Field Station Projects?

These projects will continue to support the progress we have made over the past two-and-a-half decades in pioneering the use of GPS technology to map bone beds, in getting schools and churches involved in the study of paleontology and origins, and in the development of strong and credible relationships with our scientific colleagues. Your donations will allow us to continue teaching students around the world about dinosaurs and creation science in our new field station built by Maranatha. We have a spacious dining and meeting area, an industrial-sized kitchen, hot water, large restrooms, a sizable garage, and a bone storage area that has allowed us to better accommodate an increase in guests and fossils excavated from the quarries.
