Dinosaur Mountain
See replicas of the great dinosaurs of the
Mesozoic Era come to life on Dinosaur Mountain! Hear
the roars of these magnificent animals! At the
bottom of the mountain are deposits representing the
Triassic Period (245-205 million years ago), with
animals around the Triassic pond. In the middle of
the mountain are layers suggesting Jurassic age
(205-144 million years ago), along with some of the
associated dinosaurs, such as Stegosaurus. Above are
animals of the Cretaceous Period (144-65 million
years ago), including Tyrannosaurus and Pentaceratops. At the top stands a
Glyptotherium,
which lived during the Cenozoic Era, after the Age
of the Dinosaurs.
See a flash flood on the mountain, and watch
volumes of water cascade down three stories
approximately every 23 minutes!
