Book excerpt: In 1934, Barnum Brown of the American Museum of Natural History in New York (AMNH) led a large-scale dinosaur excavation in northern Wyoming, where he had found bones two years earlier. Initially, Brown expected to excavate two skeletons of sauropod dinosaurs, but soon after opening the quarry, the team realized that the site far exceeded their expectations: in the end, they unearthed approximately 3000 bones within six months and sent approximately 144 crates back to the AMNH. Due to the enormous number of bones, the site became world famous as a dinosaur graveyard, and media from all over the United States and abroad reported on the expedition. Soon after, however, the collection shifted away from a curatorial focus. What followed was a history of neglect: inappropriate storage conditions, water and fire damage, collapsing wooden boxes, and deteriorating plaster jackets. Relocation and further excavation of the quarry by the Sauriermuseum Aathal (Switzerland; SMA) from 1989 to 1991 confirmed earlier finds of skin impressions and resulted in the recognition of a novel diplodocid sauropod: Kaatedocus siberi. Given that the amount of bones found by the AMNH far exceeded those found by the SMA, a new project was started in 2017 to reassess the state and scientific value of the historic collections at AMNH. Although most of the bones are heavily fragmented, preliminary results show that overall preservation is still exceptional. Here, we reconstruct the history of the excavation, as well as past conservation and preparation procedures, and provide a report of current efforts to prepare, conserve, and catalog the material that has remained in storage since the 1930s. These current efforts show that historic collections, even after decades of neglect, can be of great and unexpected value, both for research and scientific outreach.

Book Vertebrate Paleontology in Utah

Download or read book Vertebrate Paleontology in Utah written by David D. Gillette and published by Utah Geological Survey. This book was released on 1999 with total page 568 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 52 papers in this vary in content from summaries or state-of-knowledge treatments, to detailed contributions that describe new species. Although the distinction is subtle, the title (Vertebrate Paleontology in Utah) indicates the science of paleontology in the state of Utah, rather than the even more ambitious intent if it were given the title “Vertebrate Paleontology of Utah” which would promise an encyclopedic treatment of the subject. The science of vertebrate paleontology in Utah is robust and intense. It has grown prodigiously in the past decade, and promises to continue to grow indefinitely. This research benefits everyone in the state, through Utah’s muse ums and educational institutions, which are the direct beneficiaries.
