Dino Adventures at the Montana Dinosaur Center

MOBILE, Ala. (WALA) - Did you know North America’s first dinosaur remains were found in Montana in 1854? And the world’s first identified Tyrannosaurus rex was found in 1902 by paleontologist Barnum Brown.

That’s why it’s no surprise Big Sky Country is also home to the Montana Dinosaur Trail – a 2,000-mile-long loop that runs statewide and includes a meet and greet with “Elvis”, a 33-foot long Brachylophosaurs fossil on display at Malta’s Phillips County Museum and the Museum of the Rockies in Bozeman.

Geologist and Montana Dinosaur Center Executive Director, Cory Coverdell joined us to tips on planning your trip to America’s top dinosaur destination.
