BYU Earth Science Museum
The museum was built in 1976 to prepare, display, and house
the rock and dinosaur fossils collected by Dr. James A. Jensen and his
crews. Over decades of field work, Dr. Jensen and crews gathered fossils
from locations in Utah, Colorado, Montana, and Wyoming.
For years, the vast collections of the unprepared field
jackets were stored under the BYU football stadium. Now, with the new 5,000
square-foot addition, and years of laboratory preparation, nearly all of
the fossils are kept at the museum in the collections room
This museum showcases many fossils from the Jurassic Period,
which spans a period from approximately 210-140 million years ago. The
museum houses one of the top five collections from the Jurassic Period
in the world and has been featured in magazines, newspapers, and on television
throughout the world. And many discoveries are waiting to be made--100
tons of plaster-covered bones are stored underneath BYU's football stadium.
