Dinosaurs had existed on Earth for more than 160 million years. But the ones that show up at the end of the Cretaceous period in Hell Creek are some of the most famous and best preserved on the planet. This includes a dig of some of the fantastic creatures that have long inspired the world's fascination with paleontology.

Students will explore Hell Creek State Park outside of Jordan, Montana. It's in this area where the first T. Rex was discovered in 1902 by Barnum Brown working for the American Museum of Natural History. Here, we'll be exploring what's known by paleontologists as the Hell Creek, an extensive rock formation spanning four states that preserves the final few million years of the Cretaceous.
