Hide and Seek....


Where does an eighty-three-foot long, fourteen-foot high vegetarian go to hide? Apparently the Dana Quarry in Wyoming...
Thank you to Prehistoric Journeys for giving us the rare and special viewing privilege of such an awesome specimen of science and history before returning it to Wyoming. We are grateful for the patience, skill, and handiwork of assembling this 12,000 lb skeletal puzzle that requires 7-8 hours of labor from an entire team so that our local community and internet world can appreciate the wonders of our planet.

The recent dig found an amazingly well preserved herd of Brontodiplodocus. This particular one is named Apollo. Science and homeschooling... what's not to love? The local schools, some less than a mile away from the exhibit, didn't want to be bothered with transporting the children to come and see this awesome exhibit first hand...

The paleontologists believe that a great flood buried the herd quickly under a mass of sandstone. As a believer in Creation I can't help but muse about the rest of the story....
