On April 28th, 2008, the international touring exhibition "The World's Largest Dinosaur" landed in Guangdong Science Center. The exhibition was introduced from the American Museum of Natural History, revealing the biological mystery of a group of super-large dinosaurs, only long-necked and long-tailed sauropods, and inferring how these behemoths multiplied as a group on the earth in about 65.438+0.4 billion years.
Entering the exhibition area, you can see the huge head of an Argentine dragon. This dinosaur found in Argentina may weigh 90 tons and be 140 feet long. It is the largest sauropod dinosaur in the world.
Sauropods are famous for their huge size. These dinosaurs have different shapes and patterns, and some of them are as long as 150 feet, which is equivalent to the length of four standard city buses. The exhibition not only shows the dinosaur bones to the audience, but also dissects its body structure one by one, revealing the relationship between the dinosaur's heart rate, respiration, metabolism and reproduction and its huge size.
The biggest highlight of the dinosaur exhibition is the 18-year-old female Mamen Xilong model, which is made in real scale, 60 feet long, 1 1 foot high, with upright shoulders and about the size of a large trailer. Before walking to the model, the audience had the most intuitive experience of "behemoth".
Recommendation 2: A group of dragons haunt-the age of dinosaurs.
Venue: Guangdong Provincial Museum
Time: July 12- 10/0/3.
Ticket price: free or not, you need to make an appointment in advance.
Tyrannosaurus Rex, plesiosaur and pterodactyl were reptiles that lived hundreds of millions of years ago. They once ruled the land, sea and sky for a long time. The unsolved mysteries about them often bring people endless reverie and thinking.
The exhibition is divided into three parts. The first one is "Dinosaur World", which tells various stories between ancient dinosaurs and the hatching process of dinosaur eggs. The dinosaur exploration session brings dinosaur bones, teeth, skin, footprints and other fossils to the audience. The second part is "Dinosaurs Flying in the Blue Sky", which tells the evolution process from dinosaurs to birds. The third part is "the false dinosaur in dinosaur circle", including the close relatives, distant relatives and food of "false dinosaur".
What is particularly noteworthy to the audience is that this exhibition shows two dinosaur skin (impression) fossils, the first stegosaurus skin (impression) in the world and the first sauropod dinosaur skin (impression) fossil in Asia. According to reports, although a large number of dinosaur bones have been found in the world at present, the skin (impression) of dinosaurs is rarely found by people. So far, more than a dozen dinosaur skin (impression) fossils have been unearthed all over the world. The two skin (imprint) fossils exhibited this time retain a lot of scales, so experts speculate that the skin of Stegosaurus and Mamenxilong is very similar to that of crocodiles today, and the skin structure is scaly. Maybe in order to hide and protect themselves better, they chose a skin color that is very close to nature and not bright.
During the exhibition, the Guangdong Provincial Museum will launch a variety of educational activities such as "Dinosaurs wear Guangdong" and "Dinosaurs have a detachable frame". Xing Lida, Wang Wei, Xing and other paleontologists were invited to give lectures on popular science on different topics.
