Our Museum

Posted by Paola and Alex
On Saturday the 13,  Alex and I had the grand opening of Al's Dino World The Natural History Museum. We even made a news paper about the grand opening. It was published on the Friday before the grand opening. We gave our family a tour around the small museum we made.

The Dilophosaurus was ten feet tall and who lived in the early Jurassic period. (a Dilophosaurus skull is on the left side.) The Utahraptor  was the size of and it lived in the early Cretaceous period. (Utahraptor claws and teeth are in the middle of the photo. Next to them is the hip bone of the Utahraptor.)

Below are Utahraptor skulls.

Utahraptor skulls are in the picture above.

Above are Utahraptor teeth.

Above are Utahraptor teeth, claws, and skulls.

In the picture above are Cynodont skulls. They are creatures that look like dogs. They were the first creatures to evolve hair.

Alex is showing our family the herbivore exhibit.

Qantassaurus lived in the early Cretaceous. It's skull is in the picture below.

The Protoceratops lived in the early Cretaceous period. The Protoceratops is to the hip of a human.

 The Allosaurus lived in the late Jurassic period. The dinosaur was about 16 ft. tall. We found it's skull.

The Giganotosaurus was twelve ft. tall. We found it's teeth and a part that goes under it's tail. 


The famous Tyrannosaurus Rex lived in the late Cretaceous. We found two of it's teeth.
Alex and I dug up rocks and pretended they were fossils.We found them all in our yard.

Colorado Dinosaur Museum

My family and I went to a dinosaur museum in Woodland Park, Colorado. We drove passed the museum on our long road trip, so we decided to check it out. There were many interesting fossils, and they came in a variety of shapes and sizes. Here are some photos of what we saw.

 Utahraptors hunt big herbivores, like the Iguanodon. They used the big claw on their feet to scratch open prey.

The Pteranodon was a large flying reptile that lived near the ocean. It ate fish and squid. It had a wing span of thirty five feet from tip to tip.

This is one of several dinosaur museums that I've been to around the world. Stay tuned for more posts about the other museums I visited.
