Jason Schein Presents Dinosaur Paleontology of the Bighorn Basin

Everyone knows there are fossils to be found in the West - especially Wyoming - but what sets the Bighorn Basin apart? What connection do fossils from this region have to the Founding Fathers and the history of paleontology in the New World? What is it that first drew scientists here in the 1800s, and what keeps them flocking to this region from around the world even today?
Elevation Science Institute is just one of many groups trying to learn about a future, warmer Earth by visiting the Bighorn Basin and studying its ancient inhabitants and environments, albeit, with our own brand of citizen science. Each summer, students, retirees, writers, teachers, bankers, and doctors from around the world join us to help us find and excavate 150 million-year-old dinosaurs. Come along to learn about the history and adventure of paleontology in our region.
Jason Schein founded the Elevation Science Institute (formerly known as the Bighorn Basin Paleontological Institute) in 2017 and the organization has thrived under his leadership ever since. In his extensive professional experience, including ten years as Assistant Curator of Natural History at the New Jersey State Museum, he has developed a diverse slate of engaging educational programming in the fields of natural history, geology, and paleontology for audiences of all ages, specializing in creating unique, hands-on experiences to help people experience the power of science.
