These dynamite crates have been sealed since 1937. The specimen inside was collected on an expedition led by paleontologist Barnum Brown. Brown was searching for a hypothetical giant iguanodont, based on dinosaur footprints found in Rock Springs, WY. The fossils were carefully wrapped in newspaper that is now nearly 100 years old. Headlines include mentions of Amelia Earhart's journey and more.
