The fossil collections of the BYU Earth Science Museum contain some of the most unique fossils ever discovered. Their scientific importance provides critical information in interpreting the Earth’s past. From time to time, fossils are temporarily loaned to researchers and museums all over the world for study and display. However, less than 5% of the collections are exhibited in the museum, or anywhere else at a time. Our goal is to increase research efforts, disseminate more information, and better provide public awareness of new discoveries through exhibits.

If you are interested in helping, or in sponsoring an exhibit in your or another person’s name, please contact any of the museum personnel. Contact us at (801) 378-3680.

Volunteer Program

Have you ever dreamed of working hands-on in a laboratory or out in a dinosaur quarry? The Earth Science museum is looking for enthusiastic volunteers who could put their talents to good use. You don’t even have to be "fossil smart". There are dozens of talents that could be used in a variety of ways toward dinosaur paleontology: preparation of fossils, collecting fossils in the field, constructing and designing exhibits, illustration, photography, archiving, as tour guides, or dozens of other projects. Not talented? We’ll take care of that. Before long, you’ll be amazing your friends by spouting off words like "pre-zygapophyseal lamina," or names like Parasaurolophus, and you’ll recognize a dorsal vertebra from a metatarsal in no time. Contact the museum for details.
