Highly accessible and yet detailed and comprehensive with it, The Tyrannosaur Chronicles has plenty to offer for dinosaur enthusiasts of every stripe. It's been met with a flurry of positive reviews, to which we will [...]

Having never sampled either unit I was hopeful to find some fossils. Here is a panorama of the east side of the cut, North is to the left. Click the picture [...]
