For nearly 100 years, Big Horn County, Wyoming has yielded some of the world's most complete Jurassic-age dinosaur and marine reptile skeletons
Yet the local community has little to show for it. Tens of thousands of bones now reside in world-class museums from New York to Tokyo, while local displays remain sparse.
The Wild West Dino Den is changing that. We're working with the Town of Greybull to create a permanent, 3,000 sq. ft. exhibit featuring five full-body dinosaur casts, rare Allosaurus eggs, and displays that celebrate the scientific and historical significance of discoveries made right here in our backyard.
