Researchers uncover hidden clues within fossilized flora and prehistoric remains. Participants in the University of Oklahoma's Paleontology curriculum through the ConocoPhillips School of Geology and Geophysics enroll in specialized classes that equip them for fieldwork while providing foundational knowledge for interpreting their findings. These budding paleontologists gain practical skills by working directly with specimens and conducting experiments at the Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History. The program encourages students to pursue individual investigative paths, often culminating in collaborative research initiatives alongside the museum's curatorial staff.
