Manticocerasman Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Dinosaur madness I'll add one of the 32 Iguanodons found in Bernissart ( Belgium) to the fray I like the pieces from the Netherlands thats close to here . Is it from the Maastrichtian deposits from the ENCI quarry? 4 growing old is mandatory but growing up is optional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the holotype was from chalkstone quarries of the Sint-Pietersberg near the city of Maastricht but not positive.

And I believe they keep this out the back? So what's the story of getting behind the scenes at the BHI, do they allow anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpc Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Here is the newly prepared and mounted skull of Nicole the Torosaurus at the Tate Museum. Nicole was found on a nearby ranch in 2013, collected that year and it took about 4 years for one of my volunteers to prep it. It is one of the best Torosaurus skulls from Wyoming (there aren't many). A few field pix, 2014. And as organized as I am, I can't find any of the prep lab pix, but here she is most the bones prepped and lined up. The white paper represents the horns piece which was still in the lab when this photo was taken. The mounting you see in the first picture was done by Triebold Paleontology. Everything else was done by Tate Museum staff and volunteers. Lots of volunteer time on this one. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
