Famed Montana paleontologist Jack Horner named in Epstein files

Horner, of MSU, thanked Epstein for visit with him and ‘the girls’

Now-retired Montana State University professor and renowned paleontologist Jack Horner thanked Jeffrey Epstein and “the girls” for his visit in an email to an assistant in 2012.

“Although we didn’t find any dinosaur fossils, we did discover that he has ocean front property, a nice beach with loads of shellfish, potential for marine reptiles, and a really cool old railway,” Horner wrote in one email. “Jeffrey and the girls were very gracious hosts as were Brice and [redacted]. And of course, the food was incredible!”

The email is part of the most recent release of the Epstein files by the U.S. Department of Justice.

Horner, who retired from MSU in 2016 and was the curator of paleontology at the Museum of the Rockies for more than 30 years, is listed in at least four separate emails in the Epstein files regarding a visit to one of Epstein’s properties in 2012, reports the Daily Montanan.
