NC Museum of Natural Sciences: Dueling Dinosaurs Grand Opening

This remarkable find will give scientists at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences the chance to answer questions that have long puzzled paleontologists.

• What did the frill of Triceratops look like?
• Are there still original molecules preserved in the skin?
• Is there any evidence of feathers on the tyrannosaur?
• Is this an adolescent Tyrannosaurus rex or is Nanotyrannus a valid species?
• How did they die, and were they actually dueling?

This discovery is so big, we’re building a whole new lab to contain it — a state-of-the-art space designed for the public to not only view but to experience. Within this research center, visitors will be able to get up close and personal with the fossils and meet some of the scientific team as they uncover long-buried secrets.
