The Lost World

 We had a look at this specimen yesterday. Carnotaurus was an apex predator in what is now South America. This one is a full cast.


Duck billed dinosaurs were herd animals, with a variety of species.


This compares the lower jawbone of a plant eater, edmontosaurus, to that of the meat eating daspletosaurus.


In the right conditions, dinosaur skin could leave an impression in the mud and earth around it, even after the skin itself was long gone. 


Edmontosaurus might well have migrated with the seasons.


These are all related- lambeosaurines- dinosaurs with head crests. It is thought that head crests were involved in the making of sound by these animals.


This is hypacrosaurus, another duck billed dinosaur.
