What was it like to be there when a 76 million year-old tyrannosaur was airlifted from its longtime grave? And where had that grave been over those many millions of years?
Kenneth Lacovara visited the Natural History Museum of Utah recently and discussed why dinosaurs matter, the future of paleontology, and NHMU's Past Worlds gallery.
It's good to have friends in high spaces, especially when they're astronauts. NHMU welcomed Mark and Scott Kelly for an evening of informal conversation from the International Space Station.
