This is the Fossil Cabin near Medicine Bow, Wyoming, United States, built in 1932 as a roadside attraction. It is built of 5,796 dinosaur bones excavated at nearby Como Bluff. It was built as part of a gasoline filling station along US 30 by Thomas Boylan, who had come from California to homestead in Wyoming and had been collecting bones for seventeen years, intending to create sculptures of dinosaurs in front of his house and gas station along the Lincoln Highway. He built the cabin when he realised that he did not have enough for a complete dinosaur. Image credit: Reilly Dibner, Wyoming
