The dig we did was with https://gofruita.com/dinosaur-journey/ museum, and the local University (Colorado Mesa). We paid a small fee, which included transportation to the site, tools, lunch, water, and access to 3 full-time paleontologists who were each working on site (each working on a large bone). They taught you the process, answered way too many questions, and were delightful (they love people who appreciate their work). As soon as we found the tooth, they all stopped to document/sketch the find. Our names will be attached to the find.
Where do I find information about volunteering for this kind of thing?
Call/visit any local dinosaur/geology museum or university and ask. It’s not a satisfying answer, but works.
It’s a start a least, thanks!
