Dinosaur Skeletons

Three dinosaur skeletons stand in a fenced in area: two T-rex and a Brontosaurus. A surprising little find when you are speeding toward crossing the mighty Mississippi River.

Is the fence to keep intruders out -- or dinosaurs in?

Dinosaur Skeletons

Between Sparta and LaCrosse on I-90 are two dinosaur skeletons perched on the side of a hill on the south side of the highway.

[Jon Lachky, 05/03/2003]

The skeleton population is up to three. They appear to be made of white-painted metal, and stand inside a fenced display area, inviting the curious to come up and look. Each dinosaur foot stands on an individual cement pedestal, which seems a little precarious for big things made of bones.
