Board accepts dinosaur replicas for display at Emery County Museum
Summary
The board voted to accept three dinosaur replicas donated by Carol Jones and agreed to clean and rotate them into exhibits to supplement the museum’s Allosaurus display.
The Emery County Museum Board voted to accept three small dinosaur replicas donated by Carol Jones and approved placing them in the museum’s exhibits.
S1, the museum director (self-identified), described the replicas as “quite small” but “really nifty” and said one requires cleaning before display. Committee member (S3) moved to accept the donation; after a second, the motion passed unanimously.
Board members noted the replicas broaden the museum’s paleontology displays—S1 explained they will complement the existing Allosaurus and can be rotated so the mannequins and fossils are not on display continuously. The board gave staff direction to prepare the pieces for exhibit and to find suitable mounting or display space.
