Would you like to have your name on the most famous dinosaur in Connecticut?

Do you remember the first time you walked under the Brontosaurus at Yale’s Peabody Museum? I certainly do. If, like me, this impressive, inspiring sight has stayed with you for a lifetime, now is your once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to put your name on it.

My first encounter with the very first Brontosaurus skeleton ever discovered in our world was in 1975. I was 6, my mom took my brother Steve and me to New Haven. We were so excited to see the dinosaurs, we had only read about them in books and magazines. It blew my mind to feel so small, standing under something so huge. The 1970s and 80s were the best time in human history to be obsessed with dinosaurs – Land of the Lost, Jurassic Park, even Godzilla.

At the Peabody Museum at Yale, our fantasy interactions with real dinosaurs are becoming possible. That moment of inspiration in 1975 has lasted a lifetime. I saw something interesting on the Peabody Museum website today that I thought was a great idea. Starting now, you can write your name on one of the bones of the most famous dinosaur in Connecticut.

“Adopt a Bone” is the name the Peabody chose for it. Basically, your name will be assigned, or “adopted,” to one of the real bones of the incredible Brontosaurus for one year, from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025. If you’re a high roller, you can put your name on the Brontosaurus’ intercostal clavicle for $25,000 or the pelvis for $10,000. A rib costs $750 and a tail vertebra costs $250.

Look out for Dave’s big tarsals. It’s the least I can do for a lifetime of inspiration.
