| Dinosaur mural Laramie, WY August 2019 |
From Wikipedia:
The fossil record of the US state of Wyoming spans from the Precambrian to recent deposits. There are a large number of different fossil sites spread throughout the state.
Wyoming is such a spectacular source of fossils that author Marian Murray noted in 1974 that "[e]ven today, it is the expected thing that any great museum will send its representatives to Wyoming as often as possible." Murray has also written that nearly every major vertebrate paleontologist in United States history has collected fossils in Wyoming.
Wyoming is a major source of dinosaur fossils. Wyoming's dinosaur fossils are curated by museums located all over the planet.
Cool! Fletch would love to find some bones!
ReplyDeleteOh, how clever to incorporate the available space around the doors!
ReplyDeleteA great mural...
ReplyDeleteWe've been to a few sites in Wyoming when the kids were younger but I don't remember where they were. Our boys were SO into dinosaurs when they were young. Love that they're incorporated into all of the fun art around Laramie.

That is a very clever little mural. I didn't know that about Wyoming - very interesting.
ReplyDeleteAnother reason to add Wyoming to my bucket list!
ReplyDeleteHow I would love to come to Wyoming to see all the dinosaur fossils! That would be so much fun! I think that mural is awesome! Blessings to you, Nancy! ♥
ReplyDeleteHow exciting! We have a lot of sea creature fossils here in MD but I don't think we have any of the big fellas. I'll have to go Google that now.
ReplyDeleteCool Mural!
ReplyDeleteWho knew Wyoming had so many fossils!
