In the early 1990s, a Swiss team led by Kirby Siber set out for commercial fossil excavations at Howe Ranch Quarry, Wyoming. This quarry had originally been worked on in 1934 by Barnum Brown and his crew, who collected more than 30 tons of bones, mostly of sauropods.
Because the Swiss team could not locate additional specimens in the quarry, they explored the surrounding area, where they discovered “Big Al” (MOR 693) in 1991: a 95% complete, partially articulated allosaurus specimen.
However, because the new site was located on public land, the excavation was taken over by a joint Museum of the Rockies and University of Wyoming Geological Museum team. The specimen, now on exhibit at the Museum of the Rockies. This was below the average size for allosaurus.
