The Confrontation

 Terminonaris robusta was a marine crocodilian.


Mosasaur, one of which is suspended above, is a relative of the contemporary Komodo dragon.


Beyond, the space opens up into a reproduction of a standoff between hunters and a herd of horned dinosaurs.


A pair of small feathered dinosaurs watches from this side.


The amount of detail in these reproductions is striking. We'll carry on here tomorrow.

    Mosasaur looks really like a true predator.

    It must be interesting and fun to make them - and to visit them.

    That would have been a scary time to walk about in the wild!

    I'm so glad humans didn't develop when those creatures were still roaming the earth. Jurasic Park excepted.

      We simply could not have evolved had dinosaurs still existed.

    I don't think I would like to run into any of them, maybe the herbavours might be the friendliest.

    Very interesting exhibits! Where I live there is an area where stegosaurus dinosaurs roamed. There footprints and bones are preserved in the rocks.
