2003 Behind the Scenes
In the Spring of 2004, we will begin to move into our new facility and open
shortly thereafter. With that, we are working at a furious pace to get
everything ready. From exhibit design and layout, to all of the
specimens that will reside at RMDRC, the work never ends!
From the picture above (starting top left,
clockwise); Fossils being prepared, exhibit cabinets getting a final coat of
paint, construction on more (and more) exhibit cabinets, and the assembly of
one of the star skeleton casts - a 17' Xiphactinus (a HUGE fish you would
never want to meet in person - don't worry, it's extinct).
We have had many
comments from excited residents since the 'skeleton' of the center is
quickly beginning to take shape. As you can see from the photos below, we
have had some snow up here in the Rocky Mountains recently. Although it is
pretty to look at, it really isn't good when you are trying to finish a
building project.

Triebold Paleontology, Inc. is the head behind the bones of
the Rocky Mountain Dinosaur Resource Center. Providing all of the amazing
real and cast specimens and working in the facility, TPI employees will be
getting needed breathing room from the much smaller industrial building
that they are currently occupying in Woodland Park, CO. Within the RMDRC,
TPI employees will be working in directing, curation, fossil preparation,
and guided tours of the exhibit area. The plans for the "Rocky Mountain Dinosaur Resource Center" (RMDRC) have been approved by the Woodland Park, CO Township. We will begin construction in a matter of a few weeks. The facility will be 18,000 sq. ft. in size with a 9,000 sq. ft. exhibit space. Specimens of the land, sea, and air will be represented in this space along with interactive exhibits and interpretive placards. |
