Comprised of local volunteers and resources\, avocational paleontologists\, land owners\, and local government working alongside trained professionals and museum staff\, the goal is to discover\, study and preserve our prehistoric past. Mike\, Dave and Yvonne are all members of this project. Every fossil is collected according to scientific standards\, documented\, stabilized and curated into a database open to the public. The entire collection is destined to stay within the public domain and will ultimately be donated to an appropriate educational institution. \nMike Full\nDavid Ellingson\nMike Full is a retired Police Officer and native Oregonian with a life long fascination of fossils and prehistoric life.

Here he has a dig going many years (25) for megafauna and fauna fossil bones which involves his students in summer months. \nYvonne Addington\nYvonne Addington is a native Oregonian. She has lived in Tualatin most of her life. In her public service career\, she has worked for five Oregon Governors. She is Tualatin’s first City Manager and had a role in the formation of the City.
