The juvenile Brachylophosaurus affectionately known as Peanut was found by the 2002 exploration team.

Although this specimen is not fully articulated and as well preserved as our other Brachylophosaur specimens. Peanut is the smallest and youngest Brachylophosaurus found to date, and therefore can offer us insights into growth rates and lifespans in hadrosaurs. 

The photos here represent the discovery, excavation and jacketing of Peanut. Preparation is scheduled to start at the Dinosaur Field Station in Malta spring of 2004. However one side of the skull has been prepared. We will update the images as preparation continues.
