Dinosaur Dynasty: Discoveries from China
May 27, 2005—April 23, 2006

T. rex Sue's friends are coming to visit—all the way from China! It's a once-in-a-lifetime chance to meet a whole new set of dinosaurs from one of the world's hottest spots for dinosaur research. Dozens of authentic fossils and life-size casts span the 165 million-year dynasty of these extraordinary creatures—far longer than any human dynasty.

Dinosaur Dynasty illustrates how a changing Earth led to the amazing diversity of dinosaurs over more than 165 million years of evolution.

Among the authentic fossils and life-size casts on view are Mamenchisaurus, the longest-necked animal that ever lived, and the feathered dinosaur Caudipteryx. You'll see how dinosaur life begins—two very different nests of fossil eggs—and how it may have ended for at least one plated Toujiangosaurus, under fierce attack by the crested meat-eater Monolophosaurus. You'll also have a chance to touch a real, six-foot-tall dinosaur leg bone, and much more.

This exhibition was produced by DinoDon, Inc., in cooperation with Beringia Ltd. and the Inner Mongolian Museum.
