Dinosaur Roundup will be on display June 7 through Sept. 27, 2008, on the first floor of the National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame, the temporary home of the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History’s exhibits during construction on its new facility.

The exhibit will feature a broad sampling of specimens and their stories from the Museum of Science and History’s extensive paleontology collection, including dinosaur bones and fossils found right here in Texas – some of them unearthed within an hour’s drive of Fort Worth. Among them, the bones of Paluxysaurus jonesi, a new species that is expected to be named the state dinosaur of Texas.

Along with the specimens will be a range of engaging activities for dinosaur lovers of all ages. Guests can make rubbings of fossils, learn how to identify dinosaur bones and work on puzzles that challenge them to construct a dinosaur. Families can even photograph your kids sitting inside the footprint of a dinosaur.
