Dinosaurs Found in the Bighorn Basin - Virtual Edition

By the Wyoming Dinosaur Center

Within the Big Horn Basin, the Wyoming Dinosaur Center in Thermopolis, WY has explored some of the most densely populated dinosaur bone beds in the entire world. Learn about it at this Zoom program.

More dinosaur fossils have been found in Wyoming than almost any other state in the U.S. 

The Big Horn Basin, at the heart of Wyoming, is home to many of these fossils. And within the Big Horn Basin, the Wyoming Dinosaur Center in Thermopolis, WY has explored some of the most densely populated dinosaur bone beds in the entire world. Dozens of different fossils have been found by our scientists and many others over the years.

This presentation will explore and describe some of the most popular and recognizable finds from across the entire state with a brief focus on the specimens found by the Wyoming Dinosaur Center staff, interns, and guests over its 25-year history.

This program is presented by Angela Reddick, Paleontologist and Education Director of the Wyoming Dinosaur Center. Angela has been working at the Wyoming Dinosaur Center on and off for the past 10 years as a Dig for a Day Host, Excavation Manager, Preparator, and most recently Education Director for the Museum. Angela received her Master’s Degree from Northern Illinois University in Geology, and two Bachelor’s Degrees from the University of Tennessee at Martin in both Geology and Mathematics. She specializes in Jurassic Theropod Statistical Analyses using bone measurements to determine social distributions among well-known Morrison Formation Bone Beds.
