DinoLabs and DinoDig®
DinoLabs and DinoDig® bring the fascinating story of dinosaurs discovered in North Texas to life with full articulations of dinosaur skeletons native to the region and a dig site replicating a local paleontological field site.
DinoLabs is a 3,700-square-foot-gallery where you can experience the immensity of the State Dinosaur of Texas for the very first time: Paluxysaurus jonesi. Skeletons of Tenontosaurus dossi and an ornithopod dinosaur are also fully articulated in the exhibition. Fossils and casts of two other dinosaur species are displayed, as well.
Within this exhibition, you have the opportunity to experiment with fossils, measure bones to determine dinosaur size and surrounding environment, and use microscopic discovery to compare dinosaur characteristics to those of present-day creatures.
DinoDig®
This outdoor experience invites guests to “become a paleontologist,” as they discover the skills needed to uncover and excavate fossils in a reproduction of the Jones Ranch where the Paluxysaursus jonesi was discovered in 1982. DinoDig® features rock formations embedded with fossils based on the actual dig site.
In addition to the fun of discovering and digging up fossils, DinoDig® offers field guides that allow guests to experience the methodology behind fossil excavation, and the science paleontologists use in the field.
