Uncovering the Late Jurassic In Wyoming
The Morrison Formation is one of the most famous dinosaur fossil sites in North America. Early expeditions in the 19th century focused on the fossil remains of large animals, but today Curator of Paleontology Mark Norell and his team are searching for fossils of species that were previously overlooked.
Since the 1890s, the Morrison Formation has been the site of famous dinosaur discoveries such as Stegosaurus, Apatosaurus, and Allosaurus. But there’s plenty more to be uncovered, especially in the relatively understudied northern portion. For the past three field seasons, a team from the Museum in partnership with the Nova University of Lisbon, Portugal, and Museum research associate Octávio Mateus has been working there, focusing on two locales in Wyoming. The results, both in the scale and quality of fossil discoveries, are exciting.
