Interested in Dinosaurs? THIS Triceratops Exhibit Beats ALL Others: Melbourne Museum

Welcome to the Dinosaur Display at the Melbourne Museum, featuring The Fate of The Dinosaurs, where you can see Horridus the Triceratops and his friends Tarbosaurus and Armargasaurus. Firstly, how do you get there: The Melbourne museum can be found at 11 Nicholson St, Carlton. You can take Tram route 86 or 96 to Stop 11 on the corner of Gertrude Street. (http://www.yarratrams.com.au/using-tr...) If you’re driving, there’s plenty of car parking underground, and a helpful tip from my wife Lizzi is to go straight down to the lower level and park towards the Rathdowne Street end, that will give you the best chance of finding a free park. Tickets are very reasonably priced, with adults paying $15 each, and children u/16 free, with an extra fee for iMax or any special events, such as the Fantastic beasts display. There are so many immersive displays to explore, but today we are focusing on the Dinosaur Exhibit. 1. We are Greeted by Inostrancevia, which belongs to a group of mammal-like reptiles that curiously led to modern mammals, including humans. So, is inostrancevia my great great grandad? Then inside there are 17 replica Dinosaur skeletons, some of them massive. It is said that they don’t display the real bones due to their fragility, and the scientists are still studying them, but the copies are so good, I don’t think you can tell the difference anyway! The skeletons in the photo look quite cluttered and close together, but I assure you it looks better in person. Here are a few of the highlights: Tarbosaurus: a close relative of T-rex. It is hard to believe, but this specimen at Melbourne museum wasn’t even fully grown! Hypsilophodon, this tiny dinosaur had a beak a lot like a parrot. Mamenchisaurus lived in China and had an (11 meter long neck. Such a long neck is supported by interconnecting spines On each vertebrae. Protoceratops is roughly 2 metres long, apparently they could Use their tail to propel them when swimming. Also, juvenile protoceratops could comfortably walk standing on their back legs. I’d love to find out how the scientists know that! Diprotodon - largest ever marsupial, and I love that it looks just like a giant wombat. You may be interested to know that you can see a statue of a live Diprotodon in Just retired episode 32, I’ll link it in the description. Megalania: largest ever land lizard. It is though to have preyed upon the poor Diprotodon. It’s a bit harsh that they’ve been put so close together here then! Quetzalcoatlus had a 12-metre wing-span and it could fly! I wonder if it’s still considered lucky to get hit by droppings from a quetzalcoatlus Amargasaurus. Nobody has the foggiest idea why it had spines on its neck. Maybe for defence, maybe the supported a skin sail to regulate temperature, maybe it was a bluetooth receiver. Horridus: And now it’s time for the highlight of the dinosaur display, one of the most complete triceratops fossils found, affectionately known as Horridus. After passing through a corridor of floor-to ceiling projections that the kids loved, you catch a glimpse of this… Horridus is a real fossil, not a replica. It’s 67 million years old and was found in Montana, USA. The skull alone, weighs a whopping 250kg Time Codes: 0:00 How to get to Melbourne Museum 0:59 Inostrancevia Skeleton 1:31 Tarbosaurus Skeleton 1:47 Hypsilophodon Skeleton 1:54 Mamenchisaurus Skeleton 2:11 Protoceratops Skeleton 2:27 Diprotodon Skeleton 2:42 Megalania Skeleton 2:53 Quetzalcoatlus Skeleton 3:04 Amargasaurus Skeleton 3:23 Triceratops Horridus Fossil: The Fate of the Dinosaurs
