Vertebrate Paleontology Laboratory: Student Field Opportunities
The Vertebrate Paleontology Laboratory has an active field program in Mesozoic and Cenozoic sediments of western North America. Field research and fossil collecting are routinely conducted by faculty, staff, and graduate students. Many opportunities exist for undergraduates to gain field experience as well.
We encourage field studies as an integral part of graduate thesis and dissertation research. Many graduate students have written Masters theses and Doctoral dissertations with large components of original field research. Field research has taken our students all over the American west and well into Mexico. A large proportion of the specimens in the Vertebrate Paleontology Laboratory collection were collected by students for graduate research projects.
