Fossil Dig and TCU Energy Institute

Sophomores in the IPAA/PESA Petroleum Academy at Southwest High School (IPAS) participated in a Fossil Dig with Southwest High School teacher Mr. Darrell Harvey and visited the TCU Energy Institute. Director Dr. Richard Denne gave a tour of the rock core facility and a presentation on the background history of the Barnett Shale and how it has affected the Fort Worth area. The Academy students took a personalized tour of the Monnig Meteorite Gallery and touched Mars! The gallery houses one of the largest university-based collections, which consists of almost 3000 samples.
