Did you know that employees of the Bureau of Land Management found the dinosaur quarry of Big Al while searching for wildfires?
Big Al, officially designated as MOR 693, is a nearly complete fossil Allosaurus skeleton found near Shell, Wyoming, United States, in rocks of the Morrison Formation. The skeleton is about 95% complete and is one of the most complete Allosaurus specimens known; it was the most complete dinosaur specimen found in Wyoming at the time of discovery. Big Al shows 19 pathologies (signs of injury or disease) across the skeleton, most of them traumatic, with some showing evidence of healing.
