THE AMERICAN MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY
http://amnh.org
The
American Museum of Natural History is home to the single
largest collection of dinosaur fossils in the world, with more
than 100 specimens featured in its halls.
The Hall of
Saurischian Dinosaurs examines the branches of dinosaurs that
possess the trait of a grasping hand, with fingers that differ
in size and shape. This hall features some of the Museum's
most beloved and terrifying specimens, including Tyrannosaurus
rex.
The Hall of Ornithischian Dinosaurs examines the
branches of dinosaurs that possess a backward pointing pubis
bone. This hall includes such favorites as Stegosaurus, a
140-million-year-old dinosaur with distinctive rows of plates
down the center of its back and large spikes in the end of its
tail (along with a cast of the only juvenile Stegosaurus ever
found), and the 65-million-year-old horned and shield-headed
dinosaur Triceratops.
