How Old are Fossils or Fossil Dating Methods
To determine how old is a fossil scientists use different methods. One of the most precise is radioactive fossil dating. As you may see from the name, this method relies on the radioactive atoms that are trapped inside the rocks and break down at a predictable rate, i.e. over a certain period half of the ”parent” atoms decay into ”daughter” atoms. By knowing how long is a ”half-life” of a particular radioactive element and the number of parent atoms and decayed stable daughter atoms, we could...

Ongoing Mission
On a mission to explore and study geology and palaeontology of all known and not yet discovered fossils localities in the United States and Around the World.
Why Palaeontology and Geology?
Palaeontology studies the past life, its classification, interactions and influence to the environment. Geology studies the physical structure and substance of planets, its evolution over time.
The history and the evolution of organisms on our planet are the keys to understanding the future of our humankind and the future of the Earth as well as a greater understanding of astrobiology and astrophysics.
Field Trips
Field Trips section is divided by states and provides information about fossil sites, gems locations, museums, national monuments, and parks.
