What did a dinosaur look like? By Linda Baxter Can we believe what we see? Dinosaur art has a long history. Life-size models in natural history museums, paintings and drawings, children's toys, and of course, the recent spate of computer generated fi

Dinosaurs. Youve probably seen hundreds of them. You might think you know what they look like. But almost every dinosaur youve ever seen is a work of fiction. You turn on the television. it almost feels that we know everything about them. And thats n

Here in Crystal Palace in south London, you can still see the first dinosaur exhibition that was ever built anywhere in the world. The sculptures were unveiled in 1854. It was the start of an obsession that weve never got over. But it wasnt long befo

So beyond the fact that the exhibition is obviously about dinosaurs, what's the idea behind it? It's really how do we know what we know about dinosaurs. So you are not just presenting facts to people, you are actually showing how you've got to that k

I think when most of us go into an exhibition like this, we don't think about all of the work thats gone into it, and an exhibition of this scale requires hundreds of people whore working together, from scientists to engineers to artists and designer

Amazingly less than 100 meters away, there are more clues to the past. Luis colleague has found the remains of a sauropod. Theres a piece of rib here thats going into the ground about this angle. And then theres a piece of the pubis, the hip bone rig

Working out what species this is wont be possible until the bones are back in L.A., but fossils are fragile and moving them is a risky business. Ready? One, two, three, move. It has to be 400 pounds at least, right, if no more. Go slowly. The team be

Darren, I do love these museum collections when you come behind the scenes and you suddenly feel that you are surrounded by treasures. And it's amazing to think that there are new discoveries to be made in here as well. That's right in a way. There a

Back in Los Angeles, Luiss team are working on the bones that were dug up in Utah. The next step in turning them into an exhibition is to work out exactly what they are. And this is where the fossil bones end up, and here the preparateurs continue th

You know, they are fairly kind of flat pieces of bones, so I would think maybe this is part of the skull of a jaw. Am I anywhere near? Yes, yes, you are absolutely right. So what you have here are two lower jaws of a dug-out dinosaur. Oh, brilliant,

Fossilized bones are essentially solid lumps of rock, which means that mounting them into a skeleton is an enormous challenge. Most of the bones are real, which makes them extremely heavy. Were estimating at the total weight of the bones. Its a littl

The pose in which the dinosaur is hung while being true to science will also involve a degree of artistic interpretation to really bring the exhibit to life. A little bit more of a side way within it. (Ok.) Because its a little too flat. Its not movi

-Can I touch them?-Yeah. -Will they peck me? -Theyll peck at your rings. -They really? -And theyll try to take them off if theyre gonna get hold. But they are not very strong at pecking. -I want to feel your feathers. Now this might be what a dinosau

But even working out exactly what an adult T-rex would have looked like only gives you a snapshot of a moment in time. To really understand this animal, we need to know how it changed over the course of its entire life. And that's why Luis's team are

The questions about Louis's baby T-rex run even deeper than its appearance. With such limited fossils, some scientists have actually questioned whether the bones might belong to a different species of dinosaur entirely, something like a T-rex, but mu

With large teeth for mashing plants and sharper teeth for eating insects and worms, we can even tell that fruitadens was an omnivore. But the final piece of the puzzle in recreating this animal is its colour. And that's something we can't be sure abo

The tip is designed not the split on impact. It absorbs the stress of all that raw power the hammer gives because its not solid bone. Instead, its honeycombed with soft tissue, marrow, blood and fact. Ankylosaurus combines steel-like protective plate

These plant eaters are no pushovers. They are no theyre no pansies. We have records, quite a few, of adult dinosaurian predators being killed by herbivores. It did happen. It happens today. Lions get kicked in the face and die from a single blow from
