Dinosaurs

When my kids were younger and into dinosaurs they probably would have loved going through this exhibit at the Field Museum in Chicago, but we lived hundreds of miles away and never went into the city. I'm glad they have a chance to visit the museum now!

I have since visited a few great museums with dinosaur exhibits, and still can't begin to identify them! So I'm not even going to try with most of these, but instead will just let you enjoy the photos!

This is "Gorgeous George". It is not a T. rex. It is a Daspletosaurus, a close relative of the T. Rex.

I wonder if those people feel threatened? 😂
If you recognize the window in the background it is because I used it's shadow as the cover image for this week's Shadow Contest

Giant ground sloth fossil skeleton

This long-necked, plant-eating dinosaur lived over 100 million years ago in what is now Patagonia, Argentina.

Named Máximo, this is a model (not an actual fossil) of the largest dinosaur that scientists have ever discovered.
This titanosaur cast reaches 122 feet across and stands 28 feet tall at the head.

Neanderthal are our closest ancient human relative.

I hope you enjoyed this walk through Stanley Field Hall at the Field Museum. Inside the museum, Stanley Field Hall iaccounts for a half an acre of floor space. This post only shows a small fraction of the displays.
