Confrontation

 Set up in this area of the Fossil Gallery is a standoff between carnivore and herbivore dinosaurs, and the visitors can walk among the sculptures.

This stained glass above an emergency exit door always draws my eye.

The extinction of the dinosaurs came about due to an asteroid that hit the planet 65 million years ago in the Yucatan. But as a wise man once said, life finds a way.

Mammals that survived the impact would come to adapt and thrive in the new world. This display includes some mesodma thompsoni, a small mammal, scrambling in and over the bones of a dinosaur.
