Also from the cabinet, real Daspletosaurus fragmentary gastralia (“belly ribs”).
These fragments were part of an incomplete skeleton of Daspletosaurus torosus (then identified as Gorgosaurus and subsequently Albertosaurus) mounted in 1956 at the Chicago Natural History Museum (now The Field Museum). The skeleton was collected in 1914 by Barnum Brown in Alberta, Canada.
Souvenir postcards showing the skeleton (gastralia reconstructed in plaster) as originally mounted in Stanley Field Hall standing over that of the hadrosaur (duckbilled dinosaur) Lambeosaurus, also from Alberta, and more recently both skeletons remounted for the museum’s “Hall of Evolving Life” exhibit.
One of a series of paleontology-related postcards (below) from Beautyway, this one reproducing a painting by Eleanor M. Kish of Daspletosaurus.
Gastralia and dental fragments of a hadrosaur collected from South Dakota, gift of the Pink Palace Museum in Memphis Tennessee.
