Most dinosaur "finds" are named after someone on the team who found the bones - this particular set was found in South Dakota, the Hill Creek Formation, which is near Buffalo, SD. Stan Sacrison was the person who discovered "him". <br /><br />I thought I recognized him, since I'm at the SD School of Mines & Technology and any big dinosaur find is big news on campus.<br /><br />More about Stan here: https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stan_(dinosaur)<br />Pattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07677772238389810821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953008377950396317.post-32910826417737704002018-02-09T05:47:46.075-08:002018-02-09T05:47:46.075-08:00That's a great view!

The concrete base for asphalt pavement on top of the conduit is made of native cement. Both lines have a large number of curves, there being thirty-four single curves on the avenue line, and twenty-two single curves on the Fourteenth Street line, none of them, however, less than sixty foot radius. There will be about 4,000 ft. of curve construction, (single track) which will require over 700 curve pulleys."</i><br /><a href="http://www.cable-car-guy.com/html/ccsrj_washgeo_notes.html#top" rel="nofollow">Notes From the Field/Washington, D.
