There is more on display and I'm hoping someone else has been there as well and has pictures of the other stuff.

Auspex Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 I do hope that folks won't feel that it is trespassing to add to these individual museum threads; it would be great for readers to have one-stop window shopping for each institution "There has been an alarming increase in the number of things I know nothing about." - Ashleigh Ellwood Brilliant “Try to learn something about everything and everything about something.” - Thomas Henry Huxley >Paleontology is an evolving science. >May your wonders never cease!

isurus90064 Posted November 29, 2015 Author Share Posted November 29, 2015 (edited) If I hear you correctly Auspex, you're saying what I was trying to entice people to do!? ..i.e. to encourage people to add to these threads, which I think is a wonderful concept. Knowing what's in certain museums could be a reason for people to consider visiting the next time they're in the neighborhood.

Troodon Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 If you are ever in the Flagstaff Area visiting the Grand Canyon this is a interesting museum to see. Lots of local Triassic material including archosaurs from the Chinle Formation. Let me add a couple of pictures, have more but cannot find them A T-rex tooth from a very rare locality the Fruitland Formation They have a reproduction skeleton of a Dilophosaurus wetherilli, just took a couple of pictures \ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZiggieCie Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 I do hope that folks won't feel that it is trespassing to add to these individual museum threads; it would be great for readers to have one-stop window shopping for each institution I agree, it is almost impossible for one person to photograph everything in most Museum's. So I hope others add on to enhance the threads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siteseer Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Troodon, There was a guy in MAPS in the 90's who went looking for more of those teeth - his Holy Grail. At the time it was known from only that tooth and another one (an apparent lower) - not sure if those are still the only two documented specimens. He hadn't found any the last time I talked to him at the 1995 MAPS EXPO. Maybe you know or know of him - Jim P. from Scottsdale, I think.

siteseer Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 This museum is also known for being the institution that the great paleontologist Edwin H. Colbert worked at after he retired from 40 years at the American Museum of Natural History. He worked there for over twenty years until his death at age 96 in 2001.

Of course the label says Tyrannosaurid, but since you said T. rex in your post I was wondering if you had gotten behind the scenes information on its actual ID.
