The almost fully-complete juvenile triceratops has finally reached Illinois, resulting in a very excited group of people and a very tired Dr. Brown! Homer is here, and he should be able to be viewed in the biology lab real soon.
It's not over yet, though.... They found another juvenile dinosaur! I can't remember the name of it, but it is another almost fully complete dinosaur that is being dug up as I type this! More info coming soon!

SPECTACULAR NEWS!
Guess what!?!?!? UNIVERSITY OF GLASGOW HAS ARCHAEOLOGY CLASSES!!! Glasgow is one of the most beautiful places in Scotland, and my dream was to attend college in either Edinburgh or Glasgow. I have to do this!
Anyways, I was hunting through my Nana's field last weekend, in a downpouring rain (stupid move, Maggie) and although I did fall multiple times, I managed to find some rocks with little fossil prints in them and I found 2 Indian arrowheads! This is a really historic area, and finding this stuff took my breath away!
Dr. Allan Brown hasn't started his traveling blog yet. I'm planning on going to the arrival party for Homer. This is the most amazing find since Jane, the almost complete juvenile Tyranosaurus! I'm also studying some rocks I've found. Will update about those soon!

Homer is almost home!
I am so so so excited right now! The local museum of history has an archaeology site in Montana, and they found the most complete juvenile Triceratops to ever be found! His name is Homer, and he is being brought to the museum as I type and as you read!
What is making this event really huge is Dr. Allan Brown, paleontologist, is bringing the last bone home by bicycle. From Montana to Illinois! That is huge!
When Homer arrives, there will be a ceremony congratulating the workers and the arrival of Homer. Then, within the next few days, you can go down to the viewing lab and watch Paleontologists and Archaeologists work on the Triceratops through a glass window!
The Illinois stateline is known for it's boring-ness, but this is probably (in my eyes) the most exciting thing that has ever happened to this area! I will definitely be at the Welcome Home, Homer! party that night!
