I'm a HUGE dinosaur nut...that pretty much sums up this thread. Enjoy the pics!
------------
Orlando Science Center in downtown Florida
Mososaur skeletons. Mosasaurs are one of my favorite prehistoric reptiles. These things must have been super BAs of their day.
Platecarpus
Tylosaurus
another species of smaller mosasaur
Tyrannosaurus rex
Pachycephalosaurus
Not exactly a herp, but still cool...Xiphanctinus, the prehistoric tarpon from hades!
This place also had a really cool bayou exhibit that featured aquatic turtles and juvenile alligators.
Dinowalk Museum in Pigeon Forge, TN. Kinda pricey to get in, but we were on our honeymoon and had some extra cash to blow. Most of the dinosaurs were pretty close to life-sized and fairly anatomically-accurate, although one might debate the absence of feathers on some.
Sarcosuchus, giant prehistoric crocodile with a skull almost the size of a Camaro
Deinonychus
Coelophysis
Velociraptors attacking a Oviraptor
Tyrannossaurus
-------
Dimetrodon. Wouldn't one of these be cool to keep?
Allosaurus
compsognathid
head of Apatosaurus (the entire model took up almost the length of the building)
forgot what these were. Troodon, perhaps?
Protoceratops
Microceratops?
------
some type of oviraptor
Dilophosaurus
dromeasaur
Scutellosaurus
Ornitholestes
Herrerasaurus
Parasaurolophus (Who remembers having trouble pronouncing that one as a kid?)
------
another dromeasaur
Ornithocheirus
Styracosaurus
mosasaur
Albertosaurus
Dimorphodon
Postosuchus
