Displayed near this panel is a set of fossils that first identified a new species, chasmosaurus irvinensis, named after the nearby Canadian town where the fossils were found.
Across from it is the type of horned dinosaur that first comes to mind for most of us: triceratops.
I think we would look like tiny ants to these dangerous creatures.
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteAwesome exhibit, it is amazing to think of these critters roaming the earth. Happy weekend!
The horns are very dangerous!
ReplyDeleteThey are the animals' deadly weapon!
If I had horns, I can think of a few slimy politicians who might get impaled right away!
ReplyDeleteWonder if they can return to haunt the world!
ReplyDelete@Nancy: or mice.
ReplyDelete@Eileen: they were astounding.
@Ella: that they were.
@David: me too
@Magiceye: only in science fiction.
Such a variety of creatures.
ReplyDeleteThose must have been fearsome looking creatures.
ReplyDelete...horn have long been a means of defence.
ReplyDeleteThe dinosaurs have such interesting names, and somehow little children love learning to say them.
ReplyDeleteThey had enormous skulls and some had a huge shield over the forehead.
ReplyDeleteThey have a great collection!
ReplyDeleteInteresting, but weird. Tweeted.
ReplyDeleteThose bones actually terrify me!
ReplyDeleteScary looking creatures especially with the horns.

Still big and scary.
ReplyDeleteOh my gracious! My grandsons would be crazy happy to go to this museum. One grandson is only 5 and he can pronounce all the long dinosaur names.
ReplyDeleteMagnificent animals, luckily they lived a long time ago ...
ReplyDeleteI love dinosaurs....almost just as much as when I was a kit and my great-aunt brought me a selection of large polystyrene dinosaurs from the NY Museum of Natural History. Visited there with my grandfather, and was in awe of the brontosaurus skeleton. ---and I love your banner photo.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos of the horn displays ~ Happy Week to you ~ ^_^
