Spring Break Adventures: Ultimate Dinosaurs at Fernbank Museum
New dinosaur exhibit at Fernbank Museum
Fernbank Museum in Atlanta has a new dinosaur exhibit titled "Ultimate Dinosaurs" and it focuses on species that most of us have never heard of.
ATLANTA, Ga. - So far this week, we’ve gazed in awe at the majesty of Providence Canyon State Park and explored the multifaceted Gwinnett Environmental and Heritage Center. But this morning might just be our biggest Spring Break Adventure yet.
How big? Jurassic-sized!
For our third adventure this week, we spent a few hours exploring "Ultimate Dinosaurs," the latest exhibit to take a bite out of Atlanta’s Fernbank Museum. On-view through May 4th, the exhibit specifically focuses on dinosaurs most of us have never ever heard about: the various species that evolved in isolation in South America, Africa and Madagascar. Paleontologists say these dinosaurs — including the Eoraptor, the Suchomimus, and the Giganotosaurus, — are vastly different from those which evolved in North America, revealing a starting diversity in the dino world.
