Frontier Gateway Museum | Montana Dinosaur Trail
Frontier Gateway Museum is the official Dawson County museum, located in the heart of the Hell Creek Formation which is rich in Cretaceous fossil remains. The museum displays a full-size skeleton cast of “Margie,” the Struthiomimus found near Glendive in the early 1990s. Other fossils are from Stegoceras, Triceratops, Thescelosaurus and hadrosaurs as well as aquatic and plant fossils.
Chad Knudson, publisher of the Ranger-Review, and Dino Dave, a local dinosaur enthusiast, share their paleontological experiences with visitors.
Located just a couple of miles from Makoshika State Park, part of the Hell Creek Formation and rich in dinosaur fossils, the Frontier Gateway Museum aims to give visitors a quick 'Paleontology 101.' This lesson will get visitors familiar with fossils and the history of the region before sending them off to explore Montana's landscape.

Makoshika State Park | Montana Dinosaur Trail
Makoshika State Park is located just southeast of Glendive. Makoshika means ‘bad land’ in Lakota, and the park’s landscape is part of the late Cretaceous Hell Creek Formation. Over ten different dinosaur species have been discovered in Makoshika. Significant discoveries include a complete Triceratops horridus skull, the fossil remains of Edmontosaurus and Tyrannosaurus rex, and a nearly complete skeleton of the rare Thescelosaur.
Chris Dantic, Makoshika State Park Manager, walks visitors through the paleontological history of Makoshika, providing a behind the scenes look at the facility and park.
In Makoshika State Park, visitors will see the K-T boundary line. For those unfamiliar with the line, 'K' is the abbreviation for the Cretaceous period, while 'T' is the abbreviation for the Tertiary period. This line marks the physical boundary in time between the two periods dating back 65.5 million years ago.
What is the K-T boundary? K is actually the traditional abbreviation for the Cretaceous period, and T is the abbreviation for the Tertiary period. So the K-T boundary is the point in between the Cretaceous and Tertiary periods. Geologists have dated this period to about 65.5 million years ago.
