This #Halloween, we're talking about FOSSIL FRANKENSTEINS! ⚡

Most dinosaurs you see in museums are "Frankensteins", built from the bones of several individuals or replicas that fill in the gaps. Next time you visit a museum, remember: you're looking at many hours of research and reconstruction!

For #FossilFriday, we're covering the process of winter jacketing in the field!

Ever wonder what happens to the fossils we leave behind? They get winter jackets! Not to keep them warm, but to protect them from the elements and local wildlife during the harsh Montana weather.

The 2025 fossils have arrived at the Cincinnati Museum Center! We're so excited to open these babies up, get them prepped, and let the science continue!

This #FossilFriday, we got into the recent Spicomellus news! This new dinosaur just might have been the most punk rock yet! 🤘

165 million years ago in Morocco, this dinosaur was literally bristling, with neck spikes, fused armor, a sacral shield, and even a tail weapon. How cool!
