MNHC has partnered with Elevation Science Institute to prepare and conserve dinosaur fossils collected by their paleontologists and citizen-scientists each summer in southern Montana. These fossils come from the world-famous Morrison Formation of southern Montana, rocks dating back over 150 million years!
Come and learn about this new project that includes the famous Allosaurus, known for a complicated history of discovery and its ferocious lifestyle — and its dozens of serrated teeth! Living in the Late Jurassic, Allosaurus was a top predator coming in at an average of 28 ft. in length. This fascinating bipedal dinosaur fed on herbivorous species and possibly other predators. Jason Poole of the Elevation Science Intitute will present an overview of discoveries, current work, and the new Allosaurus project happening now at MNHC.
Instructor: Jason C. Poole has worn many hats, Adjunct Professor of Paleontology, Scientific Illustrator, art teacher, and Paleontology field instructor. Jason has excavated dinosaurs on three continents, including Africa, South and North America. Paralititan, Dreadnoughtus and Suuwassea are three dinosaurs worked on by Poole, all were new to science when discovered and two of which are supermassive titanosaurs. Poole is also a Paleontological Artist who has published in National Geographic and whose art work appears in many museum and private collections. Jason resides in Missoula, Montana and can often be found sketching in the studio and the great outdoors.
