I’m really bad at keeping up with this account. So here’s a big one(literally). Cast of Scotty, one of the largest known T.rex specimens so far. Can recognize this bruiser anywhere

Next summer, finally returning out west for field work! This time in the Almond Formation. Cool spot, lots of stuff that’s often referred to one thing but is likely new/different. Anchiceratops is a good example. #FossilFriday

Lucy’s tank and a craft store find, haha. Only $8 for the passable T.rex skull and $10 for the Jurassic Park sign…

It’s about the same size as the smaller rex specimens, maybe a touch smaller! You coming to Dino Fest?

A geology professor friend of mine is visiting Gettysburg and sent me these pics of a stone bridge there. You’ll notice something in the rock. #FossilFriday

Cleveland Museum of Natural History is pretty solid! Got to visit yesterday and I wanna add I support the efforts of the workers to unionize. It’s a great museum, should have a great work environment too…
