Raleigh, N.C. The Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences announced on Tuesday that its first-of-its-kind exhibition is coming to Raleigh, which cannot be found anywhere else in the world.
A museum is now in possession of the remains of a young man – a very rare find Tyrannosaurus rex And a Triceratops They were found together in Hales Creek, Montana.
Two dinosaurs may have been responsible for their deaths.
Lindsay Zanno, the museum’s head paleontologist, said it was primarily a murder mystery in the process of unraveling the scientific team.
The fossils were found about 10 years ago, but they are estimated to be about 67 million years old. Zenno and the museum got involved about five years ago when their team first saw the specimen in a warehouse on Long Island, where they went to auction but were not sold.
Zanno said this is the first time in known history that a T Rex 100% recovered has been recovered. This Triceratops, Also, is almost perfect in its full form, and both specimens also bear the imprint of dinosaur skin.
“These specimens are ancient,” he said. “Every animal that died in its natural state died.”
In the fall of 2022, life-size relics will be on display as part of the museum’s permanent collection. Even after the exhibition launches, scientists will continue to study dinosaur fossils for years to find out what could have happened that day.
“Fifty or 100 years from now, people will be able to come back and learn more from what we are discovering through modern technologies,” said Roy Campbell, the museum’s director of exhibitions and digital media.
According to Campbell, the main goal of the exhibition is to inspire future scientists by explaining the techniques and how they are used to learn more about dinosaurs.
“This is an enlightening story,” Campbell said. “It’s a start when people look at these specimens in 205. Science starts here in this museum and we’ve started unraveling and decoding the story locked inside these relics. That will change over the years.”
The new exhibition, when it opens in two years, will be called SECU Dinolab and will be sponsored by the State Employees Credit Union Foundation.
Campbell said the wait would be worth its price as the museum prepares dinosaurs for public viewing.
“They’re enormous, especially Triceratops“He died when he was younger,” Campbell said T. Rex Small, but Campbell said in its full form that it “is much prettier than the other performances he has seen.
“There’s a lot of excitement in the museum,” he said. “But the real payoff happens when we see ordinary people coming, because it’s their museum. When we share the treasure, it’s a very exciting part.”
