Dinosaurs from the Mountain

Idaho has a diverse but underappreciated Cretaceous fossil record, including some of the only dinosaurs from the uplands of North America. Our newest exhibit, Dinosaurs from the Mountain will showcase cutting-edge science, hands-on exhibits, and fossils that have never been seen by the general public before. Go back 100 million years ago to the lush forests of the Wayan Formation where armored plant-eaters, tiny mammals, fox crocodiles, Idaho's state dinosaur Oryctodromeus, and Gigantoraptor roamed. Join us and explore Idaho's Cretaceous past with Dinosaurs from the Mountain.
