The refurbished exhibit proposes to better illustrate the diversity of Mesozoic life by placing cleaned and remounted dinosaurs – by Phil Fraley Productions in Hoboken, New Jersey – in dramatic but scientifically accurate poses amid hundreds of plant and animal species which shared their environment.

In the meantime, a small dinosaur exhibit called The Supporting Cast has been installed in the RP Simmons Family Gallery. It will feature a new dinosaur to the museum called the Pachycephalosaurus wyomingensis (‘thick-headed lizard’). Details: www.carnegiemnh.org
