That means these specimens are most definitely involved in research! The wonderful volunteers at the Eccles Dinosaur Park have put in many thousands of hours doing a fantastic job of preparing specimens from UMNH fieldwork and collections. All the hard-workers in the Eccles lab are a valued part of the UMNH paleo community.
