This exhibition would not be possible without the
Black Hills Institute of Geological Research (BHI) and
its world-class expertise in the excavation, research and
preparation of dinosaur fossils
The company was founded by paleontologist Peter Larson in 1974 and incorporated as Black Hills Institute of Geological Research in 1979, in Hill City, South Dakota, USA. It specializes in the excavation, research and collection of fossils and mineral samples. BHI is known for excavating Sue, one of the largest and most complete T. rex specimens ever discovered, as well as Lane the Triceratops and Stan the T. rex featured in our exhibition. The institute has a long track record of offering technical and curatorial expertise to museums and research labs around the world, notably the Smithsonian.
The Houston Museum of Natural Science,
one of the most popular museums in the US,
generously agreed to loan us Lane the Triceratops,
an incredible specimen
The Houston Museum of Natural Science, established in 1909 by the Houston Museum and Scientific Society, is known for its forward-thinking philosophy and unique science education programs. The vast museum complex features a central museum building with four floors full of natural science exhibits. A major highlight is the largest dinosaur hall in the United States, which houses a amazing number of fossils. Lane the Triceratops has not left the HMNS since it arrived there after its excavation...until now. We have Lane on loan from the HMNS and in Japan for the first time as part of our exhibition.
