Fun
At The Booseum
Autumn
is in full swing here at the
Rocky Mountain Dinosaur Resource Center.
The fall colors are a little later this year in Teller county so you still
have time to come up and enjoy them when you visit us at the museum. Contact
Carla at 686-1820X 111 to
book a tour for your friends and family, your organization or school.
We had
a great day for our Live Elvis Tribute
in September. For
those
who missed him, he will be performing at Primo’s in October. Check their
website for date and time. The pictures of his performance can be seen on
our website,
www.rmdrc.com.

FUN AT THE BOOSEUM October 27th.
Geri and the guides are planning scarific decorations and activities for the
kids. All children will receive a Halloween treat bag with admission
to the museum.
RMDRC’s founder, Mike Triebold, along with
several people from our field and lab crew were recently featured in a
segment on NBC Nightly News.
Reporter, Marc Potter, came out to the field in Montana this summer to
interview the TPI
team and later came to the museum for footage. You can
view the segment at
www.msnbc.com. The
segment is titled “Farming Dinosaur Bones”
and aired September 20th.
The lab
crew of Triebold Paleontology
will soon start the mounting of the Apatosaurus that
they have been restoring, molding and casting. Be sure to come by and check
their progress regularly. This specimen is 80 feet long and will be an
awesome exhibit! We don’t have room in our exhibit hall for the whole
mounted skeleton, so don’t miss the opportunity to see it before it goes to
the
Northwest Georgia Science Museum
for permanent display.
The original specimen will be
remounted at the University of Wyoming upon completion of restoration,
molding and casting.
We look
forward to seeing you soon. Keep an eye on the website for details and
changing news on paleontology and the Rocky
Mountain Dinosaur Resource Center.
Sincerely,
JJ Triebold
President, RMDRC
IN REAL-D 3D AND IMAX®
3D
Cinemark
Opens October 5
“Sea Monsters: A
Prehistoric Adventure” opens
October 5, 2007
at the Cinemark Theater in Colorado Springs.
Sea Monsters 3D transports audiences back
to the Late Cretaceous, when a great inland ocean divided North America in
two. You’ll follow a curious and adventurous dolichorynchops (familiarly
known as a ‘dolly’) as she travels through life’s stages, experiencing the
world from her spot near the bottom of the food chain. Along the way, she’ll
encounter long-necked plesiosaurs, giant turtles, enormous fish, ferocious
flippered crocs, fierce sharks, and the most dangerous sea monsters of
all, the mosasaurs. Merging ultra-high-resolution 3D graphics with National
Geographic’s trademark authenticity, compelling imagery and wonderful
storytelling, Sea Monsters 3D is an unforgettable prehistoric adventure.
National Geographic’s newest 3D IMAX
film features specimens found in the Rocky Mountain Dinosaur Resource
Center’s Cretaceous Marine Hall. Triebold Paleontology, Inc
built the specimens in the museum, as well as many of the specimens seen
excavated in the film.
Dolichorynchops
bonneri, a short-necked plesiosaur, is the star of the show, traversing
the dangerous Western Interior Seaway with her new offspring. Tylosaurus
proriger and Xiphactinus audax are just two of the villains of
the movie, showcased in 3D at RMDRC and built by Triebold Paleontology, Inc.
