In the 1930s, paleontologists excavated approximately 4,000 pounds of material in Goshen County Wyoming on Harvard owned land; some of the materials were sent by train to Harvard MCZ. For more than 80 years, collection stopped, until this money when Jim Hanken, Stephanie Pierce and Chris Capobianco (Preparator in MCZ Vertebrate Zoology) visited the site. The trio brought back their findings and plan to return again, perhaps even for a fieldtrip with Pierce's students. Torrington Telegraph.
