How did paleontologists get Coelophysis out of the ground and on display in the museum?
Hundreds of skeletons of Coelophysis are crammed into the bone bed at Ghost Ranch. Paleontologists dug around parts of the bone bed, encased the rock and fragile fossils in plaster jackets and used heavy machinery to move the jackets to a truck that was then driven to the New Mexico Museum of Natural History.
