The Two Medicine Dinosaur Center is a non-profit research and educational institution. Programs are designed to allow participants to work beside research professionals and staff. Such interaction allows participants to learn current principles and techniques of fossil preservation, which is intended to foster better reporting and documentation of fossil discoveries. Traditionally, amateur discoveries have made up over 90% of the total significant fossils documented. The Center encourages the public to continue this important tradition and at the same time lessen the adverse impact of untrained amateurs in the field.

See the world’s largest full-size skeletal model of Seismosaurus halli (earth-shaker lizard); a Guinness Book of World Records listing at 137 feet long, nearly 23 feet tall at the hips. The Center also features the first baby dinosaur bones found in North America. The Center is famous for its public hands-on dinosaur research and education programs.
