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!
