Dinosaur Replica from the Gotuaco Collection
In 2018, the NMNH received four museum-authorized replicas of famous dinosaur fossil discoveries. These replicas are made to the exact specifications of the original pieces which are under the care of several museums abroad. These pieces are part of the Larry and Pat Gotuaco Collection.
The dinosaur skull replicas include the Tyrannosaurus rex (Late Cretaceous Period, 68 to 66 million years ago), the Ceratosaurus nasicornis (Late Jurassic Epoch: 155 to 145 million years ago), and the Camarasaurus grandis (Late Jurassic Epoch, 155 to 145 million years ago). A left hind leg of the Camarasaurus grandis is also part of the exhibition.
