That’s because Jordan’s Hell Creek Formation is actually home to the 1904 discovery of a Tyrannosaurus Rex! The Garfield County Museum in Jordan also houses a full-size Triceratops cast from one of the original fossils excavated in the Jordan area. With this in mind, it makes even more sense that Grant’s assistant, Billy Brennan, was looking for dinosaur fossils in this area in the movie.
