During the summer of 2006, Kirby Siber, Director of the Saurier Museum in Aathal, Zurich, Switzerland, displayed several of his Howe-Stephens Quarry dinosaur mounts at DINORAMA 2006 in Shell, Wyoming, including “Big Al Two”, the most complete Allosaurus specimen in existence. Kirby's team of paleontologists collected these specimens from the world-famous Howe Dinosaur Quarry site near Shell, Wyoming.

This is the first time this collection was displayed in North America, after being seen by over two million viewers in exhibits in Europe and Japan.

The purpose of this exhibit was to emphasize the need for the proposed Bighorn Basin GeoScience Center in the Bighorn Basin of Wyoming so that we can conserve and display our natural resources in an appropriate setting.

Several thousand visitors braved a heat wave to see the exhibits and meet and talk to Kirby Siber and his friend of many years, Peter Larson, owner of the Black Hills Institute of Geological Research.

 

Many thanks to Dirty Annie's in Shell for hosting our exhibit!

 

Our thanks also to Aart Walen,  of Creatures and Features in the Netherlands, whose assistance with setting up the exhibits was invaluable!

 

Not bad for a little community with a population of 50!
