Luis M. Chiappe, director of the
Dinosaur Institute, in white shirt, talks with a journalist at a preview
of a Tyrannosaurus rex growth exhibit, featuring three specimens of
varying ages, at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County
Wednesday, Jan. 19, 2011. Featured are fossils of a 30-foot-long young
adult, about 18 years old, upper left; a 20-foot-long juvenile, about
14, right; and an 11-foot-long baby, about 2, said to be the youngest
known specimen, lower left. The T. rex trio will be the centerpiece of a
new, expanded Dinosaur Hall, with some 300 fossils, 20 full-body
specimens, interactive and video exhibits, in two large galleries that
will more than double the previous space. The hall is scheduled to open
to the public in July, 2011
PROVO, UTAH.- In August 1953, renown American photographer
Dorothea Lange traveled to southern Utah where she met up with her
long-time friend Ansel Adams. The two photographers spent three weeks
photographing the landscape and people of Toquerville, Gunlock and St.
George with the intention of publishing the work in LIFE magazine.
Lange’s enthusiasm for her subject yielded hundreds of photographs
from which she composed an extended essay of 135 photographs, including
images by Ansel Adams. Thirty-five of those photographs with text by
Daniel Dixon appeared under the title “Three Mormon Towns” in the
September 6, 1954 issue of LIFE.
