The Museum of Geology’s new Paleontology Research Laboratory is finally complete, and now begins the task of moving over 500,000 specimens in.
unprepared specimens will be stored on the upper level, doors on the left lead to the prep. lab.
Over the past few days we have been moving the jackets seen above from an offsite storage facility. Specimens were loaded one at a time onto a flatbed truck, brought to the new building and unloaded onto shiny new galvanized steel pallets. The pallets will be loaded onto the heavy duty racks once the facility get its own forklift.

Progress on the new paleontology lab here at the South Dakota School of Mines & Technology is moving along quite quickly. Earlier this week the concrete for the 2nd floor of the was poured. The official completion date is August of 2010, but at the rate things are going it could be as early as May.
here are some photos I took this morning of the progress:

This past Saturday, Jack Redden, a professor emeritus from SDSM&T, held a dinner to honor maps and papers that he just had published by the USGS. These maps were created from over 50 years of work that Jack and others have done. The maps are beautiful and the paper is wicked awesome. Anywho… the dinner was wonderful. Students were able to sit alongside professors and geologists from around the area and socialize. I greatly enjoyed my time sitting with Dr. Fox and listening to his stories about the “old days” in the department and what types of shananigans the professors would get into. Every student that atteneded enjoyed the event; which makes me hopeful that the department would plan some sort of socializing event like that every year. It was a good way to connect with the profs and to build connections with alumni and friendly geologists from around the area. I just thought I would share my experience with you.
