Sam Noble Museum: Vertebrate Paleontology Research

The Vertebrate Paleontology Collection of the Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History (SNOMNH) is a major national collection, and constitutes one of the most important existing records of vertebrate history and evolution in the southern plains. The collection comprises over 70,000 cataloged specimens.

Dr. Richard L. Cifelli, SNOMNH Curator, shows us the fossils from recently named Brontomerus mcintoshi, or "thunder-thighs" after its enormously powerful thigh muscles.
