New York State Museum Dinosaur Exhibit
Here I am digging for dinosaur bones like paleontologists
do. The bones were really plastic at the museum.
Here, we are doing a crayon rubbing of dinosaurs.
This was fun and it allowed us to take a little bit
of the museum home. The background image on this page
is a crayon rubbing.
Here is a baby tryceratops. It was obviously fake because
you could hear the mechanical insides moving, but it
was really cute.
Here we are looking at a baby brachyasaurus and watching
the movements that he makes. Nearby was a mechanical dinosaur
which we were able to control.
We went to a presentation. The instructor was Hana.
Here I have made friends with an iguana whose ancestors were the
dinosaurs. The iguana breathes though its nose and
its elbows are just like the dinosaurs.
This is a fossilized archaeoptryx. It resembles a bird,
but it's really a dinosaur. Fossils like this one led
to the theory that dinosaurs evolved into birds and never
became extinct.
Hana showed us a skink. The skink is member of the
reptile family. It's brown and really smooth. The
skink evolved from the dinosaur age.
