The Dayton Society of Natural History is home to a Collection of 1.8 million objects that our curatorial staff works to make accessible to our guests -- and now to yours! Bring curated pieces from the Society to your school, library, museum, or other center of learning, complete with interpretive signage.
Options range from a complete exhibition to key individual artifacts and specimens that make learning memorable for your learners of all ages. Come face-to-face with a Hadrosaur, examine fossil specimens, and encounter an entire family of dinosaurs with one of these options:
This exciting traveling exhibition showcases the world of modern paleontology, introducing a dynamic vision of dinosaurs and what scientists have learned about them. New discoveries and technologies reveal how dinosaurs lived, moved and behaved. Examine realistic models and casts, and see original dinosaur fossils from the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous period, as far back as 230 million years ago.
This complete exhibition features an assortment of twelve (12) dinosaur fossils and replicas, including a hadrosaur skull and mummified skin, diplodocus humerus/femur, gastroliths, replica archaeopteryx fossil, and a replica T-Rex tooth.
