CULTURE NEWS

  • A rancher near Lewistown found a dinosaur tailbone on his property in 2017 and contacted the Museum of the Rockies to help dig up more bones from a large plant-eating dinosaur that lived over 120 million years ago. Researchers are carefully wrapping the bones in plaster and burlap—fossil preparers now study them in a lab to learn more about early dinosaurs in Montana.  KBZK
