The Creation Evidence Museum is excited to announce its Annual Fall "Veritas" Homeschool dinosaur track excavation. This event is an exciting time of discovery of a newly excavated site! This will include excavations in the morning and inspiring Creation lectures each evening. The Dig is located on the Paluxy River in Glen Rose, Texas. The site holds thousands of dinosaur (and possibly human!) prints. Actual bones have also been unearthed in the area.

Tools & Supplies

All participants must sign a Release of Liability Form for the Creation Evidence Museum and the
private land owner, on whose land we excavate (parents must sign for children). This releases the
Creation Evidence Museum and the landowner from liability in case of accident or injury.
Please understand that the excavations take place along the limestone ledges of the Paluxy River. Thus, we have to be aware of, and deal with, the elements of nature, such as poison ivy, snakes, ticks and heat. This is not an excursion to your local science museum. It is participation in an actual on-site excavation. Children participating are the full responsibility of their parents. No one will be allowed to wander off from the planned activities, and everyone must remain within the boundaries described by the Director. We must observe these rules for the safety of all.
