The folks from Visit Montana are sending me on a road trip to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Montana Dinosaur Trail! 🚗🦕
I’m checking out the Frontier Gateway Museum in Glendive and the Phillips County Museum in Malta to check out some of Montana’s best fossils.

Emily Graslie: I'm traveling along Montana's Dinosaur Trail to see some of the state's best fossils.
First, I popped into the Frosted Flour in Baker to grab an unforgettable caramel roll before heading to Glendive to check out the Frontier Gateway Museum and meet Zara for a tour. This is our dinosaur section.
Margie, who is our Struthiomimus, she was found almost complete about 6 miles from where our museum is. This is a cast of the original. A lot of duck bill dinosaurs in the area.
So, Edmontosaurus, Hadrusaurus. This duck bill dinosaur leg, probably Hadrosasaur, was found by sixth grade students. Amateur paleontologist named Doc Hyatt found it on a hike with them.
There's a picture of him and his hammer. What a cool guy. What a cool guy.
The Frontier Gateway Museum has plenty of other fossils on display. It's a pretty eccentric collection of regional memorabilia, ranging from local fauna to local businesses, and from iron lungs to steel armor and weapons. Okay, that is completely unexpected.
My next stop is a three and a half hour drive away in Malta at the Phillips County Museum. It's home to Elvis, a 33 foot, 10 m long Brachilophosaurus about twice the length of a rhinoceros. Elvis was found about 15 mi north of the museum and is 95% complete.
The museum's also got other non-fossil rocks and non-ear things, too, in the form of meteorites. I wonder if the dinosaurs feel a little weird about the meteorites being so close. Anyway, there's a western habitat diorama and an example of an old country schoolhouse.
Also, these chaps made out of sheep's wool and a very impressive display of different barbed wire designs from the late 1800s. Stay tuned for the next video where I walk across the parking lot to check out the Great Plains Dinosaur Museum.
