Artist Rick Kawchack helps transport his aluminum Styracosaurus sculpture.
On Monday morning, a 2,035-pound dinosaur departed Craig on a flatbed trailer migrating south.
The aluminum sculpture by local artist Rick Kawchack has found a new home with Ripley’s Believe It Or Not! at its museum in Grand Prairie, Texas.
Kawchack completed the massive piece in 2013 after two years and 2,000 hours of work. The life-size likeness was his first venture into creating large-scale art. Constructed from aluminum sheeting, the piece features almost 2 million spot welds on its exterior surface.
Originally intended for a museum in Salt Lake City, the 7-foot-tall Styracosaurus instead took up residence in Craig.
