We could tell you exactly where . . . but then we’d have to kill ya. We're in hot, arid terrain in the Big Horn basin, close to the border with Montana.
Cowboys are mending fences and the prairie dogs are scuttling between the juniper bushes. Precisely where we are, we're not allowed to say. There are fossil thieves who would almost certainly try to raid the square mile if they knew its location.
We're even asked to switch off the geotagging on our phones and to avoid taking photographs that feature the horizon.
An overly revealing social media post might give the game away. Not that dinosaurs are hard to find in these parts.

Amazing. The scope of fossils and care being taken to preserve them.
I wonder if any new species will be discovered?
