One of the early helpers at the Paleon Museum in Glenrock straightened and looked at him with steely blue eyes.

The volunteers of the Paleon Museum have been known as the “bone biddies” since.

“If you go to Glenrock today, visit the Paleon Museum, and are up for a little hike, you can see the prints just like I did.”

His discovery led to the skull’s excavation and the eventual creation of the Paleon Museum to house the fossil.

It was at a summer Paleon Museum dig years later that a 13-year-old Scott Persons visited and became more fully convinced - despite laboring under the hot Wyoming sun - that he would pursue paleontology as a lifetime profession.
