Hello, Beastie

 Maiasaura forced a re-think on dinosaurs when they were first discovered- not just this one species, but dinosaurs as a whole. There was strong evidence that they took care of their young, and this called into question the long standing perception of dinosaurs as vicious lizards. If one species could be good parents, why not others?

There is a mock up of a nest here, with the first baby hatching.

Some marine dinosaurs lie ahead.

Archelon was the largest turtle ever, a resident of the Cretaceous.

Mosasaurs and terminonaris robusta have things in common with current day reptiles.

Overhead, more beasties: this is the plesiosaur, a predator of the ocean.

One more look up at archelon.

In the next space, two feathered dinosaurs are at their nest, looking at something across the way. We'll get a look tomorrow.
