Wyoming History Scenes

Plaster model of Wyoming Diplodocus dinosaur made from casts of bones excavated at Como Bluff, Wyoming. The pictured casting was given by philanthropist Andrew Carnegie to the Natural History Museum, London, dedicated formally on May 12, 1905. This photograph was taken 100 years to the day of the dedication. Tom Rea, author of Bone Wars: The Excavation and Celebrity of Andrew Carnegie's Dinosaur (University of Pittsburgh Press, 2000), was a guest speaker in Phil Roberts' History of Wyoming class in 2006.
