As regular readers will know, Matt and I have recently spent ten glorious days travelling the dinosaur museums of Utah, in a once-in-a-lifetime event that we have been calling the Sauropocalypse. In that time, we visited seven different museums and — this is the truth — had an absolutely fantastic time in all of them. One of the big reasons is of course the quality of their collections and galleries.

There rolls the deep where grew the tree. O earth, what changes hast thou seen! There where the long street roars, hath been The stillness of the central sea. The hills are shadows, and they flow From form to form, and nothing stands; They melt like mist, the solid lands, Like clouds they shape themselves and go. But in my spirit will I dwell, And dream my dream, and hold it true;

I need to be sleeping, not blogging, so here are just the highlights, with no touch-ups and minimal commentary. I don’t know what these real street signs were doing sitting on the ground when I walked to the museum this morning, but it was a good omen for the conference. Home base for this part of the conference. We head to Green River, Utah, on Friday for the Early Cretaceous half. I had never seen this on exhibit.
