            The Paleo + Pelagica Museum, inc.

                EDUCATION  THROUGH  EXPLORATION!

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

"The purpose of the Paleo+Pelagica Museum is to enlighten and entertain the public with scientifically important and visually exciting materials related to the preservation and advancement of the earth sciences, with special emphasis on marine creatures and ocean environments, both paleontological and contemporary, along with providing opportunities for the public to participate in the "hands-on" experience of scientific fieldwork."   

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Update:  The effort to geographically consolidate continues. We are making progress towards moving everything out of Houston and Walsenburg, up to Denver. All of the important fossils and exhibit materials are leaving Houston next week and will be safely stored in Denver out of hurricane danger, by next weekend!  We have begun to look at potential museum properties in the Denver area and have found some interesting possibilities around Golden, Colorado. Although  Greg and I are both currently committed to Project Controls job assignments between Texas, Louisiana and Wyoming (no more going to Kuwait for me!), we are hoping to be able to start house hunting together in Denver soon.
