Eight Years Ago Today...

An 8 year old Lachlan made the discovery of a lifetime at Mygatt-Moore Quarry, an intact Apatosaurus skull & neck! This is only the fourth Apatosaurus skull ever found. Many Apatosaurus skull fragments have been found across North America, but only four complete skulls, like the one Lachlan found. Here, he stands beside the skull as it is being worked on in the Dinosaur Journey Paleo Lab.

Seven Years Ago Today...

CMU student intern Stephanie found something wonderful and rare! Mygatt-Moore is a quarry full of gigantic dinosaur bones, and Stephanie instead found a tiny fragment of a jaw with five teeth in it, from a lizard-relative called a sphenodontian (or rhynchocephalian).

These little lizard-like animals have only one living relative on earth today - the endangered Tuatara. But in the geologic past they were much more diverse and common.
