CITY, ND – (NewsDakota.com) Paleontologists from the North Dakota Geological Survey will begin setting up a new display at the Barnes County Museum in Valley City today.

The new exhibit will feature many different types of fossils, some of which would have been plant and animal life of eastern North Dakota millions of years ago.  

The overall exhibit will also feature a full cast of a Triceratops skeleton, which was originally constructed in Valley City, has recently been out on loan, and is being returned from Tennessee.

Barnes County Museum curator Wes Anderson says it’s a wonderful opportunity to partner with the state to provide a great experience and understanding of the history of North Dakota for our visitors and our community. 

The three person paleontology team will work for most of the week with staff and volunteers from the Barnes County museum to get the exhibit in place and ready for viewing.

An official unveiling will be announced later but the fossils should be ready for the public to view later this week.
