Summary[edit]

Allosaurus fragilis

Description
English: Allosaurus fragilis skeleton cast in the galerie de Paléontologie (Paleontology Hall) in the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle (French National Museum of Natural History, in Paris, France). American paleontologist Jim Madsen of the University of Utah sent this plaster-cast specimen to the French Muséum in 1976 as planned after the "University of Utah Cooperative Dinosaur Project" agreements had been reached between both institutions (the project spanned from 1960 to 1976). The original fossilised bones used to produce the copy belonged to at least 44-46 individuals found disarticulated in the Cleveland-Lloyd Dinosaur Quarry, Utah, among some other dinosaur species, also disarticulated. This huge bone bed, the Cleveland-Lloyd Dinosaur Quarry, is dated back to the Late Jurassic, about 150 million years ago.
Español: Molde en yeso de un esqueleto de Allosaurus fragilis en la galerie de Paléontologie (Galería de Paleontología) del Muséum national d'histoire naturelle (Museo Nacional de Historia Natural de Francia, en París). El paleontólogo estadounidense Jim Madsen, de la Universidad de Utah, envió esta copia en yeso al Muséum francés en 1976, siguiendo lo establecido por ambas instituciones según los acuerdos del University of Utah Cooperative Dinosaur Project (Proyecto Cooperativo de Investigación de Dinosaurios de la Universidad de Utah, un proyecto de envergadura internacional que duró de 1960 a 1976). Los huesos fosilizados originales, los que sirvieron para producir este esqueleto moldeado en yeso, pertenecían a como mínimo entre 44 y 46 individuos encontrados completamente desarticulados en la Cleveland-Lloyd Dinosaur Quarry (Cantera de Dinosaurios de Cleveland-Lloyd, en el estado de Utah), entre los restos, también desarticulados, de algunas otras especies de dinosaurios. Esta gigantesca capa de huesos, la Cantera de Dinosaurios de Cleveland-Lloyd, está fechada en el Jurásico Superior, hace unos 150 millones de años.
Français : Moulage en plâtre d'un squelette d'Allosaurus fragilis exposé dans la galerie de Paléontologie du Muséum national d'histoire naturelle, à Paris. Le paléontologue américain Jim Madsen, de l'université d'Utah, envoya cette copie en plâtre au Muséum français en 1976 à la suite de ce qui avait été accordé entre les deux institutions lors du University of Utah Cooperative Dinosaur Project (Projet coopératif de recherche sur les dinosaures de l'université d'Utah, un projet de portée internationale qui dura de 1960 à 1976). Les os fossilisés d'origine, ceux qui ont servi au moulage de ce squelette en plâtre exposé à Paris, appartiennent à au moins 44 ou 46 individus retrouvés complètement désarticulés dans la carrière à dinosaures de Cleveland-Lloyd, dans l'Utah, parmi les restes, aussi désarticulés, de quelques autres espèces de dinosaures. Ce gigantesque lit à os, la carrière à dinosaures de Cleveland-Lloyd, est daté du Jurassique supérieur, il y a à peu près 150 millions d'années.
