Cash donations can also be sent for materials for this very important project.
This "block of bones" (hence the "bob" acronym) is over 11 feet in length, and contains over 100 dinosaur bones and fragments from at least 3 individuals and 2 separate species. It took more than 2 years of painstaking work to safely bring this monster 5 1/2 ton block into the Center. Preparation of this, and other, fossils is ongoing.
“The slab has about three large carnivorous dinosaurs and several duckbill dinosaurs.”
As students have worked with the slab, they’ve seen a story unfold of six duckbill dinosaurs that dropped in their tracks. The slab also contains evidence of several other dinosaurs that experienced the same fate. Based on more than 200 shed teeth, predigested bones and stomach contents, Makoshika Dinosaur Museums Jerry Jacene says these students have seen evidence of cannibalism that others have never seen.
