Field Work To prepare the Junior Paleontologists
for South Dakota, we spent one full day
in the field in Illinois before the expedition. Under
the guidance of Illinois State University
geologist William Shields, we traveled
to Bailey’s Quarry and Mattheissen
State Park. The team collected 300-million-year-old
invertebrate fossils, walked through caves,
and even stood behind a waterfall!
