See the Bone Processing and Storage
All the bones and other items collected are the property of the ranch where they are excavated. However, currently, Southwestern Adventist University is the official repository of these scientifically valuable fossils. |
 |
At the end of each season of excavation work in Wyoming, all the bones collected are brought to the Biology Department in the Lawrence Scales Science Hall on the campus of Southwestern Adventist University.
There, they are carefully cleaned, preserved, cataloged, and stored.
The preparation lab and the bone storage facilities are available for field trips by interested groups and school classes.

| Bring your bones to the bones on the campus of Southwestern Adventist University |
Each year numerous groups of children and adults visit the facilties for a guided tour. Some of the groups that have come to take advantage of this opportunity include:
- Cleburne Elementary School
- Keene Adventist Elementary School
- Leadership Cleburne
In addition, the project leaders have made general presentations to school, museum, church, and civic groups, including:
- Cleburne High School
- Layland Museum, Cleburne
- Cleburne Rotary
- Hopps Museum, Keene
- Cleburne Lion's Club
- Wilshire Elementary School, Euless
If you have a school or church or other group that would be interested in seeing the bones and how they are prepared and stored, you can make arrangements to come..
If your group would like us to come and make a presentation, let us know what would fit your needs. We can arrange a video presentation, slides and/or a talk and can bring a sample of the prepared bones for display.
