Make a wish this #FossilFriday! In fact, make two! This is the #furcula (‘wishbone’) of the #Tyrannosaurus ‘B-Rex’ (#MOR1125) being held next to that of Montana’s T. rex (#MOR980) at #MOR! While we may think of the wishbone as a bird feature, it evolved first in their ancestors.
Happy #FossilFriday! This week @Jordan_Mallon visited #MOR from the @MuseumofNature to study the horned dinosaur #Triceratops. Here Mallon is with #MOR1604, a Triceratops discovered in the #Cretaceous Hell Creek Formation near Baker, #Montana.

Happy #FossilFriday! This is the skull of #Nakonanectes (#MOR3072), a #plesiosaur that swam through the Western Interior Seaway that covered much of North America in the Late #Cretaceous. This animal's #jaws are filled with needle-like #teeth that helped it snare prey!
Happy almost Friday, fossil fanatics! 🦖 Virtual Fossil Friday is back! Ever wondered what dinosaurs taste like? Join Outreach Manager Ashley Hall for our Thanksgiving Theropod Appreciation episode at 9 a.m. MST, Nov. 15 on Zoom! Click here for Zoom link: bit.ly/3UHjxY5
Happy #FossilFriday! MOR/MSU recently returned from the annual meeting of @SVP_vertpaleo in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Over a dozen students/staff presented their work on #dinosaurs, #crocodiles, #turtles, #fossilpreparation, #collectionsmanagement, #education, #outreach and more!
Happy #FossilFriday! Edgarosaurus (MOR 751) is a short-necked plesiosaur discovered in the Cretaceous Thermopolis Shale near Edgar, Montana. This marine carnivore used its long snout to capture fish and other soft-bodied prey.
🦖 Join us on Nov 7 for Ice Dinosaurs with Dr. Patrick Druckenmiller, exploring Arctic fossil discoveries and dinosaur physiology, reproduction, & more! ow.ly/PxoG50TUUhE🦕 🗓️ 5:30–7 p.m. | Hager Auditorium 🎟️ Free & open to the public #MORPresentingPrehistory #IceDinosaurs
Happy #FossilFriday! About 8 million years before #Trex roamed western North America, its relative #Daspletosaurus was at the top of the #Cretaceous food chain. This is the holotype skull of Daspletosaurus horneri (#MOR590), on display in MOR’s Hall of Growth & Behavior.
Happy almost Friday, fossil fans! 🦕 Join us for Virtual Fossil Friday as Outreach Program Manager Ashley Hall and Paleo artist Ruby Pines show us how to draw a spooky dinosaur! 🎨 Kicks off via Zoom at 9 a.m. MST on Oct. 25. ow.ly/wFzG50TSHjO #VirtualFossilFriday #Dinosaur
Happy #FossilFriday! #Ammonites were shelled #cephalopods🐙 that existed for ~430 million years. The shells of these octopus relatives came in a variety of shapes. #MORIV3299 is a specimen of #Didymoceras, an ammonite with a shell that coiled to a “paperclip📎” shape at the end.
Join us tomorrow at 9 a.m. MST for Virtual Fossil Friday! 🦖 Dive into the world of Quetzalcoatlus with Outreach Program Manager Ashley Hall. 🦅 Zoom link and more info: ow.ly/vMhh50TO1K7 #FossilFriday #PrehistoricJourney
Happy #FossilFriday! #Hadrosaurs (duck-billed dinosaurs) like #Edmontosaurus (#MOR003) had jaws filled with hundreds of #teeth stacked in columns. This “dental battery” helped hadrosaurs grind vegetation and become one of the dominant groups of #dinosaurs in the #Cretaceous.
Happy #FossilFriday! Nearly a dozen #teeth of #Deinonychus, a relative of #Velociraptor, were found near the skeleton of this plant-eating #Tenontosaurus (#MOR682). This #fossil evidence suggests Deinonychus and other #raptors hunted & fed in packs.
It's almost #VitualFossilFriday! 🦖 Join us this week to explore Diprotodon—a giant, prehistoric wombat! 🐾 Outreach Program Manager Ashley Hall will dive into this massive marsupial's Pleistocene past. 🕰️ Don’t miss it tomorrow at 9 a.m. MST! ow.ly/VH8b50TCGsK
