About this audio guide
This guide to the Texas Science & Natural History Museum in Austin follows Douglas Lawson, a young geology student who set out across Big Bend National Park in nineteen seventy-one hunting for dinosaur bones and found something stranger instead. It traces the dice-sized fragments, the lab discovery back in Austin, and the decades of debate over how a creature that size could possibly have gotten off the ground. Stand beneath the cast in the Great Hall to take in its full wingspan.
