This quarry has come a long way since we opened it in 2006 and has become the largest stegosaur bonebed in the world. Due to JRDI’s student intern’s research program we are learning so much about these fascinating creatures. For the first time we’ve been able to identify two different stegosaurs but of the same species and the only visible difference between them is the shape of their plates. One type has tall triangular plates and the other oval plates. What conclusion can we possibly draw from this? Could this represent male and female stegosaurs? The research is still ongoing and intriguing. |
