    Since August, 1999, PRI, in conjunction with Cornell University, has been involved with three mastodon excavations, one in Hyde Park, NY and another (Cornell's Gilbert Mastodon) in Chemung County, NY. Now, a third mastodon has been located in North Java, NY, and excavations are underway.

 

PRI also publishes two paleontological research journals, Bulletin of American Paleontology and Palaeontographica Americana, as well as periodically producing other special publications in the area of paleontology.
