After checking out the Visitor Center and the many displays...............and of course gifts, we boarded the tram up the hill to the excavation area where Andrew Carnegie had sent his team of paleontologists to excavate the many fossils rumored to be in the Morrison Formation. And excavate they did! Complete dinosaur fossils were shipped to many museums including to
Pittsburgh, Denver, and many university museums. Included were Stegoaurus, Camarasaurus, and Allosaurus.
Following our walk through the excavation building, we met up with a park Ranger and walked down the trail back to the Visitor Center. The Ranger was a wealth of information about the world, millions of years ago, and the changes through time.
Tonight if we here thunder from the recent storm clouds, hope we don't think its actually the dinosaurs coming back.
