Dinosaur Field Opportunity
July 22 - 27 or July 28 - August 3, 1996

Imagine the thrill of being the first person to discover a fossil that 
has been buried for more than 75 million years!

Once again Cranbrook Institute of Science is joining with Montana State 
University - Northern to offer a paleontology field opportunity. We will 
assist in the recovery of dinosaur eggs, egg shells and nests and 
prospect other fossil sites in the hills and gullies of northern Montana 
in an effort to reconstruct ancient vertebrate ecology.

People (like you) who are interested in earth science field work are 
invited to participate in all phases of a paleontological expedition. 
Hadrosaur nests with eggs, egg shells and baby bones have been removed 
from the area. Note: This is public land; personal collecting is not 
permitted.

Camp begins with evening dinner on Sunday and ends after breakfast on 
Saturday. Bring your own tent and personal supplies. To keep the costs 
within an affordable range for everyone, we will all share in meal 
preparation and camp clean-up. Portable chemical toilets are arranged, a 
shower stall is built and there is the possibility for swimming in the 
local river if we prospect in the area.

Camp fee: $550 for Institute members
          $650 for non-members
This fee includes:
* A pre-trip preparation class at the Institute.
* The Institute trip leader present in camp.
* Arrival pick-up and departure delivery.
* Daily field transportation to the sites.
* Field instruction (ratio of about 1:6).
* Continental breakfasts, picnic lunches, snacks and evening barbecues.
* Evening chats under the "Big Sky."

Not included is your transportation to Havre, Montana. Camp is best 
reached by auto or Amtrak train to Havre. The nearest large airport is 
150 miles away at Great Falls, served easiest by Northwest Airlines. You 
must also arrange ground transportation to Havre.

GROUP SIZE IS LIMITED! Please return your registration form and $150 
non-refundable reservation fee immediately. To confirm scheduling, the 
balance is due by May 20, 1996. Contact the Institute's group leader, 
Carole DeFord, at 810 645.3214.
