    Trip B1 PALEONTOLOGICAL RESEARCH INSTITUTION’S MUSEUM OF THE EARTH AND TAUGHANNOCK STATE PARK AS TEACHING RESOURCES ROBERT M. ROSS Paleontological Research Institution, Ithaca, NY 14850 DON HAAS Paleontological Research Institution, Ithaca, NY 14850 JONATHAN R. HENDRICKS Paleontological Research Institution, Ithaca, NY 14850 WARREN D. ALLMON Paleontological Research Institution, Ithaca, NY 14850 INTRODUCTION A central goal of geoscience education, at both the secondary and college levels, is to help students understand how we know about geologic history, and to be able to interpret for themselves how particular places and organisms came to look the way they do through past geological and biological processes. Visits to the Paleontological Research Institution’s Museum of the Earth and to Taughannock State Park, both located near Ithaca, New York, can be used as complementary experiences with any audience – the general public, K-12 students, and college students – to address the geological history of New York State and to show how we know about that history. PRI’s research collections of fossils are fundamental to the development of our knowledge of the events that shaped Taughannock Park’s strata and those collections are sources for most of the specimens used to tell the story of the history of the Earth and its life at the Museum of the Earth. PALEONTOLOGICAL RESEARCH INSTITUTION & ITS MUSEUM OF THE EARTH What is PRI? The Paleontological Research Institution is a natural history museum with programs in research, specimen collections, publications, and public education. PRI cares for a collection of more than 7 million specimens (one of the 10 largest collections in the U.S.), and publishes Bulletins of American Paleontology, the oldest continuously published paleontological journal in the Western Hemisphere, begun in 1895.

TCHC will be located on the Ithaca Commons, in the heart of Tompkins County, welcoming visitors as a gateway to the area’s many cultural destinations and serving as a gathering place for community members. The center will include staff to greet residents and visitors and to orient them to visitor services, exhibits, the library and archival resources, scheduled programs, multi- media presentations covering the history of the City and County, and a retail space. Three main goals are to 1) build community by offering opportunities to deepen connections among County residents through sharing of narratives and place based initiatives; 2) engage the public in a vibrant exploration of our unique community through history, heritage and cultural lenses; and 3) orient visitors to tourism, specifically heritage tourism, opportunities.
