‘Big’ news! A fantastic acquisition for our collections: a nearly-complete skeleton of a long-necked dinosaur of about 20 metres in length. “Dan”, as we named him, may well belong to a new species of diplodocus-like dinosaurs.

Dan originates from Kaycee, Wyoming, where we participated in excavations in the last few years. This well-preserved specimen is 155 million years old (that’s the Upper Jurassic). Allosaurus Arkhane, exhibited at @rbins, was excavated at the same site, about 250 metres from Dan.

The preparation of the skeleton has started and will reveal many secrets in the next two years. And then Dan will become one of the many stars of our Dinosaur Gallery!
