Diving into the Depths of Paleontology

Abstract

Paleontology, the study of ancient life, has always drawn me in—the pull of the past and the need to understand the Earth beneath my feet are irresistible. Imagining the life back in the ancient bones, the stories those fossils could tell is truly awe-inspiring. Prior to coming to Montana, I volunteered at the Morrison Natural History Museum in Colorado with Curator Matthew Mossbrucker, who took me under his wing and introduced me to the wonders of the ancient world.
