• "In March 1969, a party from the Department of Paleontology, University of California, Berkeley, visited the site. At that time, the crew relocated and made a sketch of the specimen (Fig. 2A) and recognized that the bones were from a dinosaur. The Northwest Museum of Natural History Association excavated the specimen in 1994 (Fig. 2B) and ascertained that the fossil is a sacrum. Preliminary preparation revealed at least eight sacral vertebrae, which suggested a hadrosaur. The specimen was fully prepared between 2013 and 2016."
