ExhibitsDinosaursCarter County contains part of the Hell Creek Formation, and many paleontologists visit the area each summer to look for more fossilized remains.[3] Fossils from Carter County are found in many of the science museums in the country. The Carter County Museum itself contains several significant fossils, largely collected on private land in the 1930s and 1940s including one of the most complete Anatotitan copei found. There is also a complete Triceratops skull.[4] The dinosaur exhibits are rotated from the museum's stored collections.[5] Local history and natural historyAside from the dinosaurs, there is also significant exhibit space given to other later animals and geological. The museum also hosts a wide range of exhibits including a firearms display, old equipment from early in the life of Ekalaka, pictures of towns that lived and died in the past century, and flavors of life for the thousands of early homesteaders who tried to make a living on the dry land.[6] Dino ShindigEstablished in 2013 the annual Dino Shindig is a gathering of paleontologists, dinosaur enthusiasts, and community members for a weekend of lectures, kids activities, field expeditions, live music and more.[7] Previous lecturers have included Kirk Johnson and Jack Horner. This event, occurring the last weekend of July, has received global attendance.[8] References1. ^{{cite web|title=Carter County Museum|url=http://visitmt.com/listing/categories_NET/MoreInfo.aspx?IDRRecordID=11415&SiteID=1|website=visitmt.com/|accessdate=19 October 2014}} 2. ^{{cite web|title=The Montana Dinosaur Trail|url=http://mtdinotrail.org/|website=mtdinotrail.org|accessdate=19 October 2014}} 3. ^{{cite web|title=2007 Fieldwork news archives|url=http://www.nhm.org/site/research-collections/dinosaur-institute/whats-new/news-archives-2007|website=nhm.org|accessdate=19 October 2014}} 4. ^{{cite web|title=Carter County Museum Exhibitions|url=http://cartercountymuseum.org/exhibitions/|accessdate=19 October 2014}} 5. ^{{Cite web| title = Ekalaka: A home where dinosaurs roamed, and the coffee game they do play| accessdate = 2014-12-15| url = http://missoulian.com/lifestyles/territory/ekalaka-a-home-where-dinosaurs-roamed-and-the-coffee-game/article_3570989a-1594-58bb-a7e2-6e4003782f42.html}} 6. ^{{cite web|title=Carter County Museum Exhibitions|url=http://cartercountymuseum.org/exhibitions/|website=cartercountymuseum.org|accessdate=19 October 2014}} 7. ^{{cite web|author1=Ellie Newell|title=Dino Shindig draws little ones and bigwigs to Ekalaka, Mont.|url=http://www.bozeman-magpie.com/thebigmt-full-article.php?article_id=870|publisher=The Bozeman Magpie|accessdate=3 May 2016|date=August 1, 2013}} 8. ^{{cite web|title=Digging up fun Dusty, science-y adventure draws hundreds to Ekalaka's Dino Shindig|url=http://billingsgazette.com/news/state-and-regional/montana/dusty-science-y-adventure-draws-hundreds-to-ekalaka-s-dino/article_87b380f8-c817-5115-b4fe-77ddb7b8069c.html|publisher=Billings Gazett|accessdate=3 May 2016|date=August 3, 2014}} External links
