A 30-YEAR LEGACY OF GREAT DISCOVERIES

The dinosaurs are dead and gone. It’s the human factor that brings them back to life.

The Judith River Dinosaur Institute’s field dig programs have produced amazing discoveries. It’s very difficult to excavate a dinosaur by yourself, as a team effort is needed. The following discoveries and excavations were accomplished by teams of amateurs. They are our legacy and a tribute to the JRDI team members who worked hard under the Big Sky summer sun and made friends along the way. This page is dedicated to all you Diggers.
