The dino benches are super cute. The angle is a little weird, though. And there's other seating if you're scared of dinosaurs. Looks like there's non-dino flat benches in the back on the right and a raised stone bench / retaining wall area on the left with grass and trees. I'm a little worried that there's no arm rests on any of the seating areas, though. It might be difficult for people with mobility issues to stand back up. Super cute for in front of a dino museum, though! And I totally want one.

It’s Fossil Friday, so soar into the weekend with Archaeopteryx! When this dinosaur was first described in 1861, it caused a sensation. Discovered shortly after Charles Darwin proposed the theory of evolution by means of natural selection, Archaeopteryx provided an example of evolution in action—a fossil that showed the transition between reptiles and birds. The first Archaeopteryx fossils ever found included exquisitely preserved skeletons with clear imprints of wings and feathers, but also teeth and a bony tail. Today, scientists think Archaeopteryx wasn���t able to fly very well, but the species still represents a turning point in paleontologists’ understanding of the relationship between ancient dinosaurs and modern birds in the design of both its body and brain.

Been working on this cardboard skull of the tyrannosaurus juvenile fossil dubbed Jane, still a wip as I’m going to paper mache it etc

I believe it’s lifesize(was not my original intention, but here we are)

But the skull part is done

Hope ya’ll like it!

Looking at photographs of the preserved nodosaur remains and crying. He looks like he is sleeping. 😭

I am losing my mind.

The Fighting Dinosaurs fossil, aka "The risk I took was calculated but man am I bad at math."

Hadrosaur fibula with a Tyrannosaur tooth embedded! The tooth is in the spongy bone on the proximal end of the bone, plus there are subtle bite marks along the shaft, which could point to scavenging behavior from a Tyrannosaur. This fibula is part of a skeleton we're currently excavating at Jack's Bonebed in Havre, Montana, and was found laying on top of the tibia.

Jurassic World and other media things: Have their raptors have ridiculously wiggly tails

Actual raptor tails:

the tail is so stiff the tendons became bones
