Gallamimus? Sinraptor, Citipati, Mamenchisaurus, Sinosaurus, Guanlong, Gigantoraptor, Lufengosaurus, and Protoceratops?

DinoToyForum

Not Gallimimus. It is the therizinosaur Alxasaurus. The oviraptorid is nominally Oviraptor, but further study might show otherwise.

It would be awesome if you could, Postsaurischian.


Here's a shot of the Mamenchisaurus from below. We finished mounting it this week. Doors open to the public in two weeks!

What a stunning angle to take the shot!

How high does that stand? I guess this view will be impossible to get for visitors?

My thoughts exactly!

It is 13m tall.

Visitors can stand directly under the front of the neck, but not under the arms or chest.

Thanks for info on visitor access.  I suspected this would be the case!  But we have your photo to enjoy.  I hope all is going smoothly!
