THE BLACK HILLS INSTITUTE
Part One of The Jurassic Journals

The photos from this month's dinosaur dig are finally rolling in. What an amazing adventure, I never thought I could gain an even deeper appreciation for prehistoric life.


Monday, July 6
Zack Keller and I fresh from the plane, ready to hunt some dinosaurs.



Inside the Black Hills Institute's (BHI's) skeleton-building workshop, aptly named Rex Hall.


Pixar sculptor/paleontologist Greg Dykstra with Triceratops skull and newly-printed scan from said skull. The three-dimensional plastic "print-out" is the first of it's kind and a great aid to paleontologists and paleo-artists alike.


The tyrant lizard king, accept no substitutes.



Greg and paleontologist/BHI staffer Neil Larson talk shop.
