On Thursday morning, we headed for the Whiteside Museum. The Whiteside Museum is the only natural science museum in Seymour, and an associate with HMNS. It has an amazing lab with great equipment and fantastic pre-dinosaur fossils. Dr. Bakker and David Temple gave a brief lecture about the different pre-dinosaurs seen in the museum. Dr. Bakker explained what projects they were working on. A local paleontologist, Chris, told us about one of his projects he was working on as well. Dr. Bakker informed us about the dangers we could encounter while digging for fossils. Afterwards, we headed to a site, where we went to the spoil pile. The spoil pile had left over bones and fossils that could be found. We used tools which included dental tools, small shovels, etc. Some students also worked in jackets that had different fossils inside. It was a hard yet fun day; we learned a lot!
