Wyoming Dinosaur Center: Difference between revisions

The museum is open all year round and hosts a gallery with more than 50 mounted skeletons, including a full mount of ''[[Supersaurus|Supersaurus vivianae]]'' excavated from a quarry near Douglas, Wyoming. The replica skeleton on display is 106 feet long and is the first mount based on data from the second and most complete ''Supersaurus'' ever found affectionately named "Jimbo" (WDC DMJ-001) which was donated to the museum in 2003. Other dinosaurs present include a ''T rex, Triceratops, Medusaceratops'' as well as various ''Hadrosaurs, Stegosaurs'' and ''Allosaurs''. One of the newest members to the museum is the almost 90% complete, composite skeleton of a ''Camarasaurus'' found on the property by staff and visitors, excavated over the past 20 years. There is also a collection of real and replica marine reptiles, and flying reptiles. From these times before and after the dinosaurs, the museum hosts an impressive display of pre-Mesozoic fossils, including numerous Devonian fish and invertebrates. The more modern displays include fossil camels, horses, rodents and nimravids (sabretooth cat like animals).
