BYU Museum of Paleontology

The Brigham Young University Museum of Paleontology was begun in 1976 around the accumulation of James A. Jensen. For a long time, it was known as the BYU Earth Science Museum, and the majority of the gathering was away under the LaVell Edwards Stadium. In October 2009, the exhibition hall held a fantastic opening of its new offices amid BYU homecoming week. With the 5,000-square-foot 460 m2 expansion, it currently shows the greater part of the accumulation. The difference in name elucidates that the exhibition hall really houses a vast gathering of dinosaur bones and different fossils. The historical center is at present coordinated by Rodney Scheetz, who was one of Jensen's understudies at BYU.

Its primary design is to encourage inquire about, yet it is available to general society. The BYU Museum of Paleontology was worked in 1976 to get ready, show, and house the stone and dinosaur fossils gathered by Dr. James A. Jensen and his groups. Over many years of hands-on work, Dr. Jensen and teams assembled fossils from areas in Utah, Colorado, Montana, and Wyoming. For quite a long time, the tremendous accumulations of the ill-equipped field coats were put away under the BYU football stadium. Presently, with the new 5,000 square-foot expansion, and long periods of research center planning, almost the greater part of the fossils are kept at the exhibition hall in the accumulations room.
