Dinosaur Digging In Montana (Montana's Best Episode 1)

The Montana's Best crew ventured to the eastern part of the state for our first episode. Glendive, Montana is one of the top places to go dinosaur digging in the United States. It is not uncommon for locals or visitors to be walking in nature and stumble across some form of fossil.
Come with our host Julie Mac as she meets up with local "dino" guide Shana Baisch. She and her team conduct paleontological days trips on a privately owned ranch within a few miles of Glendive, MT and Makoshika State Park. These educational fossil hunting trips allow visitors to get a little dirt under their nails, learn how to excavate a fossil, and to trek through landscape that is full of earth's history. Don't take our word for it. See for yourself!

[@camdrexle7183]

How cool would that be to just be able to wake up, roll out of bed and dig up dinosaur bones!? I'm actually going to dig up my yard a little and see what I find hahahaha

[@tripanomande5310]

WOW! JUST WOW!!!! Loved this video. Montana is so beautiful and seriously... dinosaurs!?!?!?!?!? Exciting! Can't wait to check out more episodes. Also, LOVED, LOVED, LOOOOOVED the gag reel. Hahahaha.... spiders.

[@michaelburgerjr]

two knives?? my guy stays strapped for excavation😎

[@earthpigc]

Dang! Well I think it's about time I go visit montana!

[@ldmazmt]

One of my favorite episodes!

[@peterm.4634]

Just came across this video and have to commend the creators for capturing the experience of a dinosaur dig. My family and I had an excellent two-day dig with Shana on her land during of summer of ‘21. It’s a surreal landscape under the open sky where you don’t know what time-capsule awaits around the corner - but be assured that you will find fossils! Once you begin to recognize the telltale colors and textures, scanning the ground becomes almost meditative. During our two days, we found a variety of alligator teeth, dozens of unidentifiable marrow pieces, and a likely foot bone. But the biggest surprise my 10-year old unearthed from the gumbo was a partial triceratops brow horn - a massive fossil that took several hours to delicately remove and cast. It has since been mounted and proudly displayed in our home, soon to be donated to a local school. Hoping for a return trip in the future.

[@mattspirts3377]

Woot! This is amazing!!

[@theforerunnerlv]

That dude who was helping Julie dig was sneaky funny

[@Litt-10]

Thank ya 😉

[@MontanasBest]

Haha oh he for sure was!

[@KaylaVandal]

​​​​@@Litt-10 do you offer dinosaur fossil ID services? I excavated some amazing pieces from a friend's ranch in SD in a section of hell creek formation, (intact, individual and external; still color and texture covering pieces and exquisite detail on internal components). They most closely align with ankylosaurus but that would be pretty rare. If you offer ID services I would love to send you photos.

[@KaylaVandal]

@@Litt-10 oh that's awesome! Can we start off by me sending you pics on your preferred method? Messenger, email, or whatever is best?

[@veronicaflorencia2654]

The was beautifully made. Also that spider!!!!!!!!

[@annabellevergiels6114]

What great information about Montana. She was extremely informative and I love the way she laid out her Museum. What incredible fun you got to escavate 🤯🤯🤯🤯

[@C19MUSIKSTRY]

Fantastic

[@taraerickson4725]

You're going to make me visit Montana...this looks like so much fun. I love dinosaurs so much.

[@AegisTheStoic]

Amazing episode from a current Glendive resident. Thanks for showcasing one of our hidden gems. The Baischs are great people.

[@MontanasBest]

Thank you!

[@brentheywud3544]

A freakin palm tree found in Montana!?!?!? What the what!?!?!?!

[@robertcandlestein5614]

Okay, I'm grabbing a screwdriver and coming to dig up so dino bones. How fun!

[@Sundragonwolf]

Awesome job, Julie! I really enjoyed this video and will be looking forward to the next episode! Keep up the great work!!!

[@leroyflound7181]

This was not what I was expecting to see from Montana. Shocked.

[@aaronmichael8790]

I actually had a friend talking about dinosaurs in montana last week. I didn't believe her...what the heck? This is incredibly amazing!

[@robtribble3189]

This was great Julie! What a cool adventure.

[@tuckersclassicautoparts]

Way to go Julie!

[@filipinovegaslife70]

This is amazing. We have to visit this place for a tour! Awesome video!

[@annieblackstone9502]

I had no idea where glen dive was but now I know and now I want to visit.

[@MontanasBest]

That's awesome!

[@Aaronisvegas]

I found you on IG and I'm glad I did. This is spectacular content and family friendly!

[@montanapureskin4331]

This was great. I couldn't stop watching. Can't wait to see more episodes

[@DeweyRides]

Very cool video. It doesn't surprise me I guess, that eastern side of MT is right there with the Dakotas and that plains and badlands area is where lots of fossils are found. I loved the drone shots and the filming of the outdoor B-roll!!

[@brianwilson4601]

Welp, looks like I need to start planning a road trip to hunt me some dinosaurs.

[@allthebaconandeggs3338]

I want a dinosaur tooth!

[@kevinconrad9442]

I can’t believe how informative and interesting this video was! Great job!

[@williamsteveonfire]

Seriously, who knew this was out there.......IN MONTANA!?!?! Thanks for bringing to light something fun, cool, and interesting.

[@IanSuvle]

Those drone shots were beautiful. Montana has some incredible landscape.

[@Giga-chadzilla]

these digs are so fun i highly recommend to go!!

[@tonymilton1059]

I've never been to Montana but this is definitely motivating me to visit. See you soon Glendive.

[@geraldinewilliams9271]

When I first read the description I thought it was a joke. I mean I never thought about dinosaurs in Montana. How freakin cool! Can't wait to visit.

[@G0rad]

Wow amazing. I have always contemplated on moving to Montana. This video only encourages me even more. Great work!

[@betsywarner2773]

I've been to the Baisch's ranch three times, with Marge as my guide, and it's so amazing! I've found many great fossils, including an Edmontosaurus tibia (lower leg bone) that is 2 feet long! There is also beautiful golden agatized petrified wood, and so many other treasures, it's impossible to name them all. It's well worth the drive from my home in Washington.

[@henrymichael6630]

Just found you all from Tik Tok. If this is the first episode, I can't wait to see more.

[@douglasscott5623]

I just returned from a visit to their site. Wonderful people, Shana is the best. She went out of her way to show and allow us to remove small dinosaur fossils. Finding something like that is just amazing to me! They have a couple of active digs going as well, one of which she showed us. I felt like a palentologist for a day. Thanks again Shana!

[@tylermchenry2337]

If the rest of the episodes are like this, I'm hooked. Keep em coming.

[@MontanasBest]

Awesome!

I want to go!

[@huckleberrydays1770]

Oh wow this is cool.

[@allisoncooper5116]

Those hoodoos were super interesting. Never heard of such a thing. Can't wait to learn more about Montana in the coming episodes.

[@vianneygagnon2435]

Proud of you Julie. That was all around well done. I can't wait to watch more episodes.

[@TerrySpin]

Been following you all on IG for about a year. Wasn't sure you would ever release episodes but it was very much worth the wait. This was killer.

[@MontanasBest]

Thank you for your patience!

[@jessicamartining5470]

Wow Glendive...who knew!

[@Bradyplaysguitar]

Different but cool.

[@tarenceprater3348]

[@freddymotiff3295]

Who knew? Dinos in Montana?

[@kristenpasche9519]

I want to come to Montana and do this!

[@kylethompson7842]

I had no idea you could do this.

[@tombaron455]

I had no idea the difference between meat eating and veggie eating dinosaur teeth. Was this common knowledge?

[@MissPolice1]

Why aren't finders of pieces of carnivorous dinosaurs allowed to keep what they find? Is it because the pieces yield too much potential amounts of money?

[@ericmattson3523]

Been looking for a place to visit this summer. How hot does it get there?

[@AegisTheStoic]

On average in the 70's. We very rarely have 90+ degree days in Glendive.

[@mattlaker8763]

Great show,who's the band?

[@tigerman7776]

I have to relate my experiences with Shane and Shana. I’ve been to Baischs two consecutive years and had some SPECTACULAR finds!!!! In 2021, I met Shane with a couple of older people and we had a blast. We found a lot of beautiful agatized wood. Shane found me a fairly large chunk of fossilized ash from the Yellowstone supervolcano. Shane even had the eagle eye to find a very small dino foot. It was a great day. The next day with was with Shana and it was SPECTACULAR!!! We got onto a large triceratops skeleton and there was a LOT to be found. The gentleman that was with me found the frill of the trike, while I found a large, almost two foot long fragment of the ishium, the bone that basically connects the spine to the hips. The other gentleman even found a large fragment of one of the trike horns. REALLY cool!!! Last year, I spent two days out in the field with Shana and she was very good to me day one. I had an exhausting drive to get there on day one and was brain dead. She was sooo patient with me, helping me find stuff when I was almost falling asleep. She asked me a number of times if I wanted some rest. I eventually took some time to do so. The next day was REALLY good!!! I found a carnivore vertebrate, which was really cool. Later on, we found a T-Rex rib fragment about four inches long, which was the absolute highlight of my short digging career!!! Shana also showed us a very large bone of a T-Rex that’s still in the wall of the butte/hoodoo. I’m almost positive it’s a femur fossil. I swear that bone is almost as long as I am tall. The experience here is DEFINITELY worth doing!!!! You’ll only have to pay about $120.00 for the whole day as an adult and you’ll be able to take a lot to almost everything of what you find home. It’s something I recognize to anyone who has a desire to dig for things in the ground. They all take GREAT care of you!!! Thanks Shane and Shana for getting me addicted to digging for fossils😬👍👍😬👍👍

[@MontanasBest]

Thank you for sharing!

I can't believe she licked it. I thought for sure dude was joking.

We did too!

Fake

[@onefortheages5983]

'worth 125 dollars" "How old do you think these things actually were...good answer" just a general lack of respect or actual interest and potential anti science?! This gal bothers me.

[@TAKE]

They can't be worth much. Dinosaur bones are only like 6000 years old so...
