This 13,400 sq. ft. museum contains 11 full-scale dinosaurs in the museum displayed in a Triassic-Cretaceous time continuum and 3 full-scale dinosaurs outside. The exhibit includes a real Triceratops skeleton and one of the best Triceratops skulls ever found.

 

The 2007 exhibits will focus on four separate themes:

  1. Amber:  Our focus exhibit is Amber collected from various locations in the world.  This temporary exhibit includes dinosaurs carved from single high quality nuggets of amber, jewelry and a wide variety of fossil insects.
  2. Fluorescent Minerals: Our popular fluorescent mineral display will be enhanced by two bright red specimens of Calcite from the mine at Franklin, New Jersey. 
  3. Fossils:  Many new fossils like Venus clam, Mercenaria permagna, from Florida has been added to the collection.  After the specimen died the hollow cavity filled in with showy golden-colored calcite crystals producing an excellent display specimen. 
  4. Minerals:  Many new minerals are displayed for your viewing pleasure, like a beautiful blue cyanotrichite from China; a fluorescent mangano calcite from Peru; spectacular selenite gypsum and blue halite from Poland; and a variety of minerals from Australia including mookaite jasper, considered to be a sacred stone by the native Aborigines.
