Notre Dame Paleontologist Finds Damage Done To T. rex Skull

enforcement officers descended on the site Sept. 14 and forced the former owners to vacate the premises.

Situated in the picturesque badlands of eastern Montana, the site lies in the Hell Creek, a geological formation famous for preserving dinosaur bones. The bones date from the end of the Cretaceous period 66 million years ago. In the Late Cretaceous, the now bond-dry site appears to have been a river channel. When the dinosaurs died, their bones washed into the channel and collected together there. Sediments covered and preserved the bones until they were discovered in July

Judging from the position of both surface bones and the bones so far unearth, Rigby believes the bone bed might cover 15 acres, making it one of the largest dinosaur graveyards of the Late Cretaceous ever found.
