THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MORRISION, Colo. -- A small town has again yielded big scientific finds
as historians this week announced a new collection of dinosaur fossils
and footprints.
Matt Mossbrucker, dinosaur researcher and director of the Morrison
Natural History Museum, said two years of work in an old fossil mine in
an area dubbed Dinosaur Ridge uncovered important finds overlooked for
decades.
Among the discoveries were a rare combination of fossils and footprints
sharing the same sandstone formations, and fossilized footprints that
could have been made by previously unidentified dinosaurs."

Odd that Bakker is no longer referred to as the director. Guess that
relationship didn't last long.
