When we evacuated the exhibits from the Quarry Visitor Center many specimens went into storage rooms in the Monument. However, a few mounts were too large for any of our areas. They went to the Utah Field House of Natural History, in nearby Vernal, where they remained on exhibit. Last week these spectacular casts were returned and we are now setting them in place and building the new exhibits around them. The big skeletal casts (both slab and free standing) are of the famous
Camarasaurus lentus puppy (only ¼ adult size),
Allosaurus jimmadseni, and
Allosaurus fragilis.

The
Allosaurus fragilis mount was disassembled for transport and had to be reassembled by DinoLab on site.
Many thanks to the staff of the Utah Field House and DinoLab (Salt Lake City) for moving these large, heavy, and delicate skeletons back to Dinosaur.
