Dino Doctor 101- How to ID a pathology

Were halfway through our project campaign and what better way to push through the midway point then with some pathologies! Jenn, aka Indy, will be applying these same principals to ID the skeletal injuries and abnormalities in the hundreds of sauropod bones at the Wyoming Dinosaur Center. Keep visiting our page for more fun fact videos and pictures and please remember to share our project with family, friends, and colleagues!

About This Project

The Morrison Formation contains some of the most impressive dinosaurs from the USA, including the large, long-necked sauropods such as Diplodicus. The biology and ecology of sauropods continues to baffle paleontologists as they represent the largest animals to walk the earth. This study aims to help solve these questions through a combination of paleoecology (where they lived/died) and paleopathology (injuries/diseases) through research at the Wyoming Dinosaur Center.
