Construction of Fort Peck Dam
[silent] Documents the construction of Fort Peck Dam, the highest of six major dams along the Missouri River in northeastern Montana. Also shown is the creation of Fort Peck Lake, the fifth largest man-made lake in the United States. Construction of the dam took place from 1933 to 1940, and the structure itself began generating electricity in 1943. Produced circa late-1930s. (collection MOV 0052)

Museum of the Rockies | Montana Dinosaur Trail
Museum of the Rockies is a Smithsonian Affiliate and recognized as one of the world’s finest research and history museums. The museum houses the most T. rex specimen anywhere in the world. Notable exhibits include the growth series of Triceratops and Tyrannosaurus rex, the Montana’s T. rex skeleton, the “Big Al” Allosaurus specimen, and many other one-of-a-kind dinosaur finds. Museum of the Rockies also delights visitors with changing exhibits from around the world, permanent indoor and outdoor regional history exhibits, planetarium shows, and a museum store.
Amy Atwater, the paleontology collections manager at Museum of the Rockies (MOR) in Bozeman, gives visitors an inside look at the museum.
At the forefront of the MOR team is Dr. John Scannella, the curator, who is an expert in the growth and development of triceratops. The team also includes Scott Williams, the lab and field specialist. Williams is incredible at figuring out all sorts of problems including how to get a fossil out of the rock and from one place to another. Williams also studies an assortment of creatures from the Cretaceous time period. Amy Atwater represents the mammal lovers and is interested in the time period following the dinosaur extinction. Finally, Ellen-Therese Lamm specializes in histology.

Along the Fort Peck Dam crossing!
As you travel through this country, you will be amazed of the Fort Peck Lake. This is a beautiful and geological area. Though no rock or fossil hounding is permitted on these lands, you will be thrilled with all of the interesting land formations that surround this area. The visitor interpretive center is very interesting with a full size T-rex skeleton display.

The primary building displays a life-size Maiasaura alongside a mural of the natural environment from local artist Jim Utsler. The museum’s exhibits include Maiasaura and Einosaurus skulls, nestling, hatchling and adult Maiasaura skeletons and bones, and a Sauronitholestes skeleton cast. The museum provides visitors with hands-on education, and provides a ‘touch’ bone for children and adults to gain a deeper understanding of these giants.
Dave Trexler has worked in the field of paleontology since the early 1970's. He and his family have been heavily involved in dinosaur nesting behavior research (Dave's mother found the very first baby dinosaurs in a nest in the world!), and Dave has worked throughout western North America. Julie Ameline is the the director of the Old Trail Museum in Choteau Montana.

Garfield County Museum | Montana Dinosaur Trail
Located in the Hell Creek Formation south of Fort Peck Lake, Garfield County has made major contributions to the paleontology record. In 1902 the world’s first identified Tyrannosaurus rex was discovered near Jordan. In addition to the full T. rex skull displayed at the museum you’ll find a full-size Triceratops cast and a Stygimoloch domed skull.
Some call Clayton Phipps the Dinosaur Cowboy. Phipps is a Montana rancher and fossil hunter who in 2003 unearthed the head of the horned Stygimoloch and in 2006 made the discovery of a life time when he and some friends uncovered the Dueling Dinosaurs.
The Garfield County Museum has a variety of Homestead Era displays in addition to the significant collection of dinosaur fossils.

The Montana Dinosaur Trail is a series of fourteen dinosaur-themed museums, state parks and other attractions in twelve communities located in the central and eastern regions of the state of Montana in the United States of America.The trail, a plan to increase attendance at the region's museums and drive tourism in general was established via the work of a number of museums as well as community and state officials.The idea for a trail uniting the museums and promoting tourism in eastern Montana came from a meeting of the Missouri River Country board of directors at the Dinosaur Field Station in Malta, Montana and the trail was officially launched via the efforts of the tourism groups of: Custer Country, Missouri River Country, Russell Country and Yellowstone Country; two state agencies: Fish, Wildlife and Parks and Travel Montana; and two federal agencies: the Army Corps of Engineers and the Bureau of Land Management.The Dinosaur Trail opened in May 2005 and drew more than 196,000 visitors its first year.

Carter County Museum | Montana Dinosaur Trail
The Carter County Museum is Montana’s first county museum and the first to display dinosaurs found in the state of Montana. Ekalaka has been at the epicenter of dinosaur discoveries for the past 100 years, and is continuing to be a source of scientific discovery. The Lambert Room, dedicated to paleontology displays, includes exhibits of a mounted Anatotitan copei skeleton (one of only a few nearly complete skeletons of this species), as well as a complete Triceratops skull. In addition, the badlands in the area have produced pachycephalosaurs, plesiosaurs, ankylosaurs, pterosaurs (this is the only known specimen from the Hell Creek Formation), mosasaurs, and the most complete juvenile T. rex.
Interviewee Nathan Carroll is the Director of Paleontology at the Carter County Museum in Ekalaka Montana. Located in the southeastern corner of Montana, the Carter County Museum is the perfect place to either start or end your Montana Dinosaur trail experience!
The Dino Shindig has become an anticipated annual event in the community at the end of July. The event welcomes visitors traveling from all over the world to hear lectures from leading paleontologists, partake in kids activities, and dance the night away.

Makoshika State Park | Montana Dinosaur Trail
Makoshika State Park is located just southeast of Glendive. Makoshika means ‘bad land’ in Lakota, and the park’s landscape is part of the late Cretaceous Hell Creek Formation. Over ten different dinosaur species have been discovered in Makoshika. Significant discoveries include a complete Triceratops horridus skull, the fossil remains of Edmontosaurus and Tyrannosaurus rex, and a nearly complete skeleton of the rare Thescelosaur.
Chris Dantic, Makoshika State Park Manager, walks visitors through the paleontological history of Makoshika, providing a behind the scenes look at the facility and park.
In Makoshika State Park, visitors will see the K-T boundary line. For those unfamiliar with the line, 'K' is the abbreviation for the Cretaceous period, while 'T' is the abbreviation for the Tertiary period. This line marks the physical boundary in time between the two periods dating back 65.5 million years ago.
What is the K-T boundary? K is actually the traditional abbreviation for the Cretaceous period, and T is the abbreviation for the Tertiary period. So the K-T boundary is the point in between the Cretaceous and Tertiary periods. Geologists have dated this period to about 65.5 million years ago.
