#FossilFriday #Orodromeus, cute little thing. Not all #dinosaurs were big! Would totally have it as a pet, scurrying around my house! #paleontology #museumoftherockies
Happy #FossilFriday! Life in the #Cretaceous could be dangerous for smaller #dinosaurs. This is #Orodromeus, whose name means “mountain runner.” Fossils of this small dinosaur were first discovered at Egg Mountain in the Two Medicine Formation of #Montana.

Happy #FossilFriday! This is the skull of a Columbian #Mammoth (#MOR604) that was discovered in #Montana. As recently as ~ 11,000 years ago, these relatives of modern #elephants roamed North America. Encounter this mammoth & more #fossil #mammals in the Cenozoic Corridor @ #MOR.

#FossilFriday #MuseumoftheRockies- Champy champsosaur. Not a croc kids!
Happy #FossilFriday! MOR 740 preserves the skull of a Champsosaur, the long snout was used to capture freshwater prey. This group of crocodile-like reptiles and survived the extinction at the end of the Cretaceous, only to go extinct at the end of the Paleocene, ~55mya.
