 Judith River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Judith River is a tributary of the Missouri River, approximately 124 mi (200 km) long, running through in central Montana and the United States.
The river gives its name to the Judith River Group of the late Cretaceous, a notable area for excavation of dinosaur fossils that stretches from Montana into southeastern Alberta and southwestern Saskatchewan.
The river was named by William Clark for Julia "Judith" Hancock, whom he would later marry.

 Judith River
The South Fork was dry as a bone and the Middle Fork by the horse camp was flowing with cold, cold water around ice and snow.
This was probably due to snow melt in the mountains and the previous night's rain.
These river branches seemed misnamed to me. (Or maybe I was just confused?) The Lost Fork was raging water and the Middle Fork was bone dry in places, flowing slowly in other places.

 Pleistocene Glaciation and Diversion of the Missouri River in Northern Montana
The different character of the river valley results from differences in age: the narrow valley between Coal Banks Landing and Judith Landing is younger than the valley on the east side of Judith Landing.
As the glacier advanced, it blocked the course of the river forcing its waters to pond to the west.
The acute turn of the river to the southeast at Virgelle, narrow versus broad river valleys, the Shonkin Sag, and barbed tributary streams such as the Judith River all suggest that the course of the Missouri was different in the past.

This segment of the river is entrenched in a milewide, steep-walled valley composed of fl-colored Marias River Shale, capped by the yellow Telegraph Creek Sandstone.
The river's flow is faster here than in the lower segments, which we typically exploit to travel this segment in two days and one night.
The dominant rocks are those of the Judith River Formation (70 million years old), which is made up of strong, thin layers of sandstone, and alternating thick layers of weak siltstone and shale.

Leonardo was discovered near Malta, Montana on July 27, 2000 when Dan Stephenson of Minot, North Dakota noticed the exposed mid-section of Leonardo’s tail and part of its pelvis in a large channel sandstone deposit within the Judith River Formation.
This particular formation is made up of sediments (mud, sand) that were deposited during the late Cretaceous Period when the environment in eastern Montana was similar to that found today in the Mississippi Delta region.

Picture a wide, meandering river lined with verdant cottonwood bottoms, overseen by soaring cliffs studded with multi-colored rock formations that stir the imagination: a hundred-foot-tall "eagle" perches near a 1,000-foot-long serrated "dinosaur spine," with a massive white "steamboat" looming beyond.
Also using this river corridor were horsethieves and outlaws, stockmen and merchants, and "honyockers" breaking sod for hard luck farms.

 Lewis and Clark National Forest
The Judith Ranger District, Lewis and Clark National Forest and Montana Fish Wildlife & Parks are proposing construction of a fish barrier (concrete structure) on the South Fork Judith River (SF Judith) near Bluff Mountain Creek.
The barrier would protect native westslope cutthroat trout (WCT) in about 25 miles of the upper SF Judith and its tributaries from continued hybridization with non-native rainbow trout competition with non-native brook trout by preventing upstream movement of these fishes.
The lower 35 miles of the SF Judith and its tributaries would continue to support a mixed fishery of non-native and hybrid trout, as well as WCT that drift downstream over the barrier.

Meanwhile, up in the north, the much neglected rex began a reign of terror in the area where the main pachycephalosaur herd had shared with the ankylosaurs.
Only when I went back up north, I noticed the ankylosaurs had fled to a river in the interior of the island, leaving the poor pachycephalosaurs with no help against the rex.
But the pachycephalosaurs are smart: the few that were still left lured the rex to the ankylosaurs, and then crept away, leaving the rex to investigate these new herbivores.
