Hunting for Cretaceous Dinosaurs in Wyoming
Come join Field Museum curator and paleontologist Dr. Pete Makovicky to search for tyrannosaurs, velociraptors, and other ancient meat-eaters that once lived in Wyoming's Bighorn Basin. You'll discover how dinosaur diversity changed as Asian species crossed a land bridge into North America 110 to 165 million years ago.
Check out Dr. Makovicky's 2002 Expedition Archive, where you can read his dispatches describing the team's excavations, view amazing videos and photos of fabulous fossils, and explore his interactive map containing more fascinating finds!
