Enjoy paleontology-themed activities throughout the month of October as part of National Fossil Month!

A team of Burke Museum and University of Washington paleontologists excavated four dinosaurs in northeastern Montana this summer.

A new study by Burke Museum paleontologists finds the earliest evidence of mammal social behavior that goes back to the Age of the Dinosaurs.

The Burke's Education Fun Pack program provides hours of hands-on and virtual STEAM curriculum to engage young scientists.

Fossils don't come out of the ground looking very camera ready. Come learn how our fossil prep staff turns hunks of rock into beautiful fossils.

While fossils give us a peek into what long extinct species left behind, paleoartists show us what these species were like while they still roamed the earth.
