Jessica Hodge+FollowTeen's Montana dig uncovers Jurassic fossilA Connecticut high schooler just made the kind of discovery most paleontologists dream about—a 150-million-year-old dinosaur bone, found on his very first day at a Montana dig site! Aidan Connor, from Cheshire Academy, spotted the fossil (a tiny finger bone) and carefully extracted it in under an hour. He spent the rest of the week helping to preserve more ancient finds. It’s wild to think that opportunities like this are opening up for students, letting them chase their passions in the field. What do you think—should more schools support hands-on adventures like this? #Science #Montana #FossilDiscovery331Share
pbrewer+FollowGlacier National Park: Watching Beauty Melt in Real Time 🌎💧 I hiked up to Grinnell Glacier expecting that cinematic view — crystal blue ice against green peaks. But the guide said, “That glacier will be gone in 20 years.” It hit me hard. We travel thousands of miles to see “natural wonders,” but what we’re really doing is watching them disappear. One photo at a time. Some tourists joked, “Better see it before it’s gone.” I couldn’t laugh. It felt like attending a funeral where everyone brought a camera. #Travel #ClimateCrisis #Montana206Share
