Dinosaur Science Museum

All the bones and other items collected are the property of the ranch where they are excavated.  However, Southwestern Adventist University is the official repository of these scientifically valuable fossils.

At the end of each season of excavation work in Wyoming, all the bones collected are brought to the Dinosaur Science Museum and Research Center in the Lawrence Scales Science Hall on the campus of Southwestern Adventist University. There, they are carefully cleaned, preserved, cataloged, and stored.

The Museum with the preparation lab and the bone storage facility is available for field trips by interested groups and school classes.
