Thats an interesting article, and the museum exhibit is very cool.. but the article states its in Canada..
where does wyoming come in to play? Edit: disregard.. apparently there are a bunch of dino bones in Wyoming.
I doubt a triceratops could manage to get into that position, even if the bone ranges could naturally support it.
Also.. if this is your job title.. and someone asks you what you do for a living.. do you even bother with the job title or just skip straight to the explanation? Can you even say the job title with a straight face? (lol)
A HUGE amount of intact skeletons come from Wyoming. Including some of the most complete found in the world.
The University of Wyoming in Laramie WY has a small but pretty awesome museum as do many cities in the state. There are good Museums in places as small as Thermopolis WY (and a active dig site) as well as a lot of others across the state.
Right on. I'll have to remember to check out some museums if I ever find myself that far north.
If you happen to, make sure to check hours/dates. At least the University one is only open on week days and I think only every week day during the school year. It might be closed while the college is on break.
Oh, the University one is also free and usually very quiet and chill. Make sure to find the "rock room" near the middle back behind the main display, there is a switch on the wall to turn on the UV lights and you can see a bunch of elements that react under UV lights. Pretty cool stuff but if you don't know about it you probably will just walk past it.
