2025 Substation Quarry Excavation
In March 2025, paleontologists and volunteers from St George Dinosaur Discovery Site started excavating bone beds right across the street from the current museum. Thank you to the City of St. George for agreeing to move the substation! As of April 30, we have closed the dig site for the summer so that our team can catalog and start preparing the more than a thousand fossils we unearthed. Learn more about this incredible project on our
Excavation page
.
Join us – Fossil Discoveries
Field-tour and fossil-finding adventure!
Come unearth fossils at the quarry. Start at the museum to get a behind-the-scenes tour of our
fossil prep lab
where you’ll learn about the fossils you could find. Then head over to the quarry site and learn about its significance to Utah paleontology. After a safety and tool-use brief, spend 2 hours
digging and discovering fossils
. We hope you have a blast, learning about our area’s ancient past and playing in the dirt looking for fossils!
