A Wyoming rancher with no connection to the University of Pittsburgh has given the school 4,700 acres of land littered with dinosaur fossils.

Science!

Did Univ. of Pitt even have a dino paleontology school? Beforehand? Since they obviously do now? :->

Almost certainly

The Carnegie museum nearby has ORIGINAL dinosaur bones (not reproductions, like most.)

Well, the Carnegie was involved in the original Bone Rush, back in the days of why-it's-called-apatosaurus, wasn't it? :->

Way cool! Hope they find a new species and name it after the rancher.

I've always had this idea of sneaking into a grade school over summer vacation and burying a fake dinosaur fossil in the sand box. It would never fool anybody high-school level or above, but just think how excited the kids would be to discover it ;-)
