Over 350 dinosaur fans flocked to the dinosaur museum on Sunday
The tyrannosaurus has been the focus of the Frick dinosaur museum since Easter. Last Sunday you might also do handicrafts and paint at several stations.
More than 350 dinosaur fans flocked to the dinosaur museum last Sunday and took the opportunity to make various T-Rex things in and in front of the museum. Funny caps were made, toilet rolls cut to size were painted and folded into a dino, colorful tyrannosaurs were also made from paper plates and those with enough patience might try their hand at an origami T-Rex. Coloring pictures were available for the younger children or small plaster dinosaurs to paint on, which are suitable as magnet attachments. There was a lot of tinkering in a relaxed atmosphere and many a child proudly carried their work home at the end. It was interesting for the team to see how many different dinosaurs were brought and presented as “entry tickets”; some children brought their plush T-Rex, others a smaller or larger toy figure and the dinosaurs also waved and blinked from numerous items of clothing. Tyrannosaurus has truly conquered many a child’s room.
What ended up as the imposing tyrannosaurus around 66 million years ago at the end of the Cretaceous period began its development 150 million years earlier. The Fricker predatory dinosaur Notatesseraeraptor frickensis can be considered a very early ancestor of T-Rex. The tooth size of Notatesseraeraptor is roughly the size of the tooth of a nanotyrannus shown in the exhibit, which is now thought to be a tooth of a young tyrannosaur. So 210 million years ago, the plant-eating plateosaurs also had to be wary of their carnivorous counterparts. (mgt)
