Museum of the Rockies

Museum of the Rockies is a museum in Bozeman, Montana. Originally affiliated with Montana State University in Bozeman, and now, also, the Smithsonian Institution, the museum is known for its paleontological collections, although these are not its sole focus. The Museum of the Rockies houses the largest collection of dinosaur remains in the United States, possessing the largest Tyrannosaurus skull ever discovered, as well as the thigh bone of a Tyrannosaurus rex that contains soft-tissue remains. The museum is part of the Montana Dinosaur Trail and is Montana's official repository for paleontological specimens. - Wikipedia

Above: Information about the Tenontosaurus and Deinoychus. Color and Texture remains unknown but new colors are derived from knowledge of early birds, a distant relative of the dinosaurs (and now some feathering remains has been found on some dinosaur remains). There is evidence that Deinoychus hunted in packs.
