Dinosaur Discovery Museum Focus
The main gallery of the Dinosaur Discovery Museum tells the story of the link between birds and meateating dinosaurs, which is one of the most complete transitions known from the fossil record. The Museum provides a primer on dinosaurs - what they were, how we know they existed, what they looked like, how they behaved, how and why they were alike and different, and what happened to them. In association with the Carthage Institute of Paleontology and the Institute's on site laboratory, the Museum presents current, ongoing research in the study of dinosaurs. The Museum collaborates with the Institute of Paleontology in research, field work and education programs. This includes the collection and preservation of dinosaur specimens for its research collections.
