Monumental Duck-billed Dinosaur Species Recently Identified in Northwest New Mexico!

A team of researchers, including a pair of paleontologists from the New Mexico Museum of Natural History & Science, have identified a massive new species of duck-billed dinosaur in the rocks of northwestern New Mexico. This newly discovered dinosaur, which researchers named Ahshiselsaurus wimani, lived around 75 million years ago and may have weighed more than nine tons. Leanr more about this New Mexico giant by following the link Duck-Billed Dino Identified.

As of Monday, August 4, the Museum is closed for renovations. All Dynatheater and Planetarium shows have been paused until further notice.  

The Museum is expecting to fully reopen to the public in Spring 2026. In the meantime, educators from the museum will focus on outreach to schools and public events through expanded and new partnerships, bringing natural history education into the local community. Check our ‘Upcoming Events’ list for an offsite event near you! 

More information on the renovation and how it will improve the Museum we all know and love is available on the Renovation Updates page.
