[a-dinosaur-a-day]

my favorite t rex specimen is cm 9380 bc i lucked into getting to study the carnegie museum’s invertebrate paleontology collection (i was in trilobite paradise 😍) at the same time as the dino exhibit was being redone so i got to see some cool behind the scenes stuff with that one

That's so cool!!!!!

Also trilobites are the best

On a very cold, snowy Friday evening we took a trip into town for dinner at a favorite Mexican restaurant and then a brisk walk to an event at the Carnegie Library Museum. Small town / rural life with friends and fun.

ANDREW CARNEGIE

As Americans, this is a name we have all come to recognize. Carnegie was an incredibly successful industrialist and philanthropist in the late 19th century and early 20th century.

He was born in Dunfermline, Scotland but his family moved to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania when he was a child. He built Pittsburgh's Carnegie Steel Company which he sold to J.P. Morgan for a whopping $300 mill ($10 bill today).

His biggest contributions came after he sold his steel company. He believed that the rich had a duty to improve society so he focused his efforts on building local libraries, world peace, education, and scientific research. He are some of the buildings he funded or had built:

Carnegie Hall

Carnegie Institute of Science

Carnegie Mellon University

Carnegie Museums

Carnegie was fascinated with dinosaurs. He actually funded the digs at Dinosaur National Monument (yes, that place exists thanks to him).

He was especially proud of Dippy, the first Diplodocus ever discovered.

The species name was actually named for him (Diplodocus carnegii) and the full skeleton stands in Dinosaur Hall today at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History. Carngie had several copies of the skeleton made and shipped to other museums in South America and Europe.

Carnegie donated over $250,000 to paleontology for "collecting, preparing and studying dinosaur and other vertebrate fossils." If only we had as generous a wealthy benefactor for our site. That is the dream.

While Diplodocus was the most famous dinosaur connected to Carnegie, there was one other fairly famous dinosaur connected to him. You've probably heard of this guy:

The American Museum of Natural History in New York sold the skeleton to Carnegie during WWII when they thought in would be bombed by the Germans. The skeleton has stood in Carnegie's museum ever since.
