Quinn, then a member of the University's Geology Department, prepared the bones and took them to a National Meeting of Vertebrate Paleontologists in Lincoln, Nebraska. Once their, the bones were were examined by experts from both the US and Europe. Upon returning from the meeting, Dr. Quinn and Benjamin Clardy, of the Arkansas Geological Commission, went to the area on the Friday farm where the remains had been discovered.
