Some Didelphodon canines Fran found when we were in Montana for a dig with Dr. Carr in 2021. We return to the field for the first time since to hunt for dinosaurs again this summer through the Carnegie. #FossilFriday

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
