Geocache Description:

Crouch down to tie your shoes and reach for the cache, sign the log, replace, and enjoy the big picture.

Chasmosaurus irvinensis fossils were collected in 1958, but wasn't removed from its plaster field jacket until 40 years later. Only then did palaeontologists realize that it was a new species! Watch a video of a Chasmosaurus irvinensis walking.

The dinosaur lived about 72 million years ago and outdoor replicas of a mother Chasmosaurus irvinensis and it's baby are located a few meters from the cache.

The mother Chasmosaurus irvinensis is 4.5 m long and 2.1 m high at the shoulders. Her baby, about 1.2 m long, is posed protectively at her side, and stands almost 1 m high. The cache however is about 3cm x 6cm!

The cache only contains the log and space for small/flat items. Bring your own writing instrument.

Cache description and initial contents: Small keyholder with a logbook.

PLEASE do not include spoilers in your logs. Logs with spoilers will be deleted immediately. If you believe there are problems with the cache setup, please advise me privately by e-mail so that I may fix them if necessary.
