Hall Of Orthiniscian Dinosaurs – Our Family Adventure At American Museum Of Natural History Part 3
Welcome September! Boy, it has been a month and a half now after our family tour at American Museum Of Natural History, NYC. I’m still mesmerized of the pictures I took in this museum. They are really something to behold about especially that they are real dinosaur fossils and fantastic models. If you are wondering where is the part 2 of this adventure, you can find it here: Hall Of Saurischian Dinosaurs.
A little bit about the Saurischians, did you know that there are over 30 T-rex specimens found at the western part of the US? Most of them are found in Montana, Texas, Utah, and Wyoming. They are also found outside the country which is at Canada and Mongolia. This Tyrannosaurus Rex specimen in AMNH is one of the almost completed skeleton fossil in the whole world. It is discovered by Barnum Brown at Montana in 1908. The last auctioned T-rex fossils was sold around $1,052,500 at Manhattan auction in May 2012.
This is the second huge Hall we visited on the fourth floor at AMNH, The Hall of Ornithischian Dinosaurs. Orthinischian comes from the Greek words: ornitheos meaning “of a bird” and ischion meaning “hip joint”. At the entrance, on the left side, you will see this magnificent Stegosaurus models.
Stegosaurus are also called “Roof-covered lizards” because of those bony plates that are on its back.
This is George, my toddler, enjoyed our dinosaur tour. He thought some models are just like his toys.
Partial skeleton of an Edmontonia or the Ankylosaurus. Read the info in the picture below.
Information about Ankylosaurus.
This is the Dinosaur Sign that you can read some info before entering the Dinosaur Halls.
Thyreophorans signs at Hall of Orthinician Dinosaurs, AMNH.
A detailed information about Dinosaurs that belongs to the Orthiniscian Classification.
This is the Anatotitan or the “duck-billed” dinosaur. According to research, they lived in the Americas, Europe, and Asia about 70 million years ago.
This Triceratops fossils were listed as 65-million-year-old. It has large frill, two horns on top of it’s head and one tiny horn on the tip of its nose.
There you have it folks. Hope you enjoyed this small tour information I have for you. Have a safe Labor Holiday!
I love this place, wala mi nakalibut sa tibuok museum when we went there. mayao pa si george interesado pa kaayo
Nindot kaayo Mommy Shydub nu? balik nya mo puhon didto hehehe We hope to get back there again coz we haven’t explore the 1st to 3rd floor yet.
amazing! i wonder where and how they were able to dig the dino fossils?
hello mommy jhey, most dino fossils were found at Montana, Texas, Utah, and Wyoming in the US and they are also found outside the country which is at Canada and Mongolia.
Oh wow! How amazing. I am always interested in visiting places like this. So as my husband. It is so interesting to see fossils of the animals that onced roamed this land and now is extint. How fun!
this sounds fun! My son would love it too! I can tell of how your son love it too!
very nice Dinosaur Museum
wow! what an interesting place! dinosaurs have really ruled the Americas millions of years ago…
The displays are impressive. I’m really drawn to the stories of dinosaurs since they are really huge and dominated Earth. Just imagine if we had one today.
my daughter loves dinosaurs but not enough to interest her with dino fossils.
it must be fun to see all kinds of bones, from small to big in sizes. My kids would surely love this kind of museum
i’ve never seen anything like this before… hopefully when my wife and i together with zachy goes abroad when zachy’s big enough… will surely drop by the museum…
cheers
Its good to visit museum. Most likely when it is an educational tour where you are going along with your classmates and friends.
I am back here again mommy Mel.
awesome photos! i wonder how they look like in person. i haven’t been into a dinosaur museum.
I love to go to this kind of museum Mommy. I bet we can learn a lot from all their exhibits
Amazing place to educate the kids. Funnily enough, we also visited the country’s Natural history here last weekend. It’s definitely a must-see museum.
Wow, good for you sis you visited museums as big as this and saw real bones of dinos. How fun!
My children will have a blast seeing this, when given the chance that is.
that is a big Dinosaur.I had a chance to see one too ,last school year when my son had a field trip to the museum .And the kids enjoy looking around especially the dino skeleton.
WOW. 65 million year old triceratops. That’s really ancient.
Oh so love how you opened up the Ber months and oh boy! Dinosaurs, I am such a fan of them
I am really wishing to actually encounter fossils or any remains of a real dinosaurs 
It would be nice if we have a collection like this here in the Philippines. So far, I’ve seen fossil collections of the National Museum but they are not as grandiose as this. Well, most of our fossils are from sunken galleon ships and caves.
Still, I hope one day we can loan these dinosaur bones. Will be sharing this post to Special Education Philippines Facebook fan page. If you have other education-related posts in the future, feel free to share it with us in Facebook.
Cool momi, feels like u r in a dinosaurs land too!
Ever since a kid, fascinated na ako sa Dino History. Once nakakita ako ng real Dino fossil sa isang exhibit dito sa place namin. Di ko lang ma-take a ng amoy. but somehow, satidfied ako.
My kids had always longed for a visit here, watching Nights at the Museum often, they want to see the dinos come alive
I like museum and that one is interesting. Your son looks enjoying it.
Being surrounded with huge dinosaur remains make me feel creepy. I’m amazed to see your son enjoying it.
Wish I could bring my kids to a museum like this
Never been up close with these creatures in a museum, hope one day… and I prefer them on museums rather than alive with us…
kakainggit naman dyan. Sayang walang ganya dito sa pilipinas.
this would be a big hit here for kids and adults alike having seen movies like Jurassic Park… I wish to get to see this kind of Museum as well…
what a big fossils, my daughter would really love to see those, too bad we don’t have that here.
I love to visit museums like that. I wish I can visit soon.
I was here too with my kids and I enjoyed every moment of it!
This is a very interesting place to visit, hope I will have a chance to visit a museum like this =)
Every time I see this kind of museum, I always remember the movie Jurassic Park.
COOL MUSEUM!!! I do remember when I was young, I was very obsessed with Paleontology (LOL Nerd, but true story), maybe because i was sooooo amazed by Jurassic Park.
)
Wow! I really do wish merong mga ganyan kagandang museums dito sa Philippines para naman nadadala ko mga kids ko.
This is a very nice museum to go to for those who are interested in Dinosaurs. It’s really impressive.
My brother used to have a book about dinosaurs. I’m sure he will love this place to bits!
Wow, the museum seems to be as it was when I visited it…31 years ago! Yep, I was there in 1981. I still remember the dino fossils. As a boy, I was enthralled by the giant skeletons. I used to know all the dino names as well. Maybe George will too, when he gets a bit older.
My fave remains to be the stegosaurus. Those bony plates look absolutely otherworldly. And I notice that all the places you mentioned where the fossils were discovered are mostly barren and remote.
Awesome. We have always been fascinated with dinosaurs. Too bad we dont have the same here in the Philippines.
As much as I’m scared of dinosaurs, they fascinate me. Maybe it’s because they’re the first creatures to live on earth for the longest time
wow!!! and they really have those fossils… i only see them in books and movies… great for you to be able to visit that museum
Dinosaurs always amaze me
There’s a lot to know about them and decipher how they become extinct.
As promised I shared this post in the Special Education Philippines Facebook Fan Page.

Hope you can share with us more posts related to education in the future.
We look forward to strengthening our relationship with reputable bloggers like you.
I really like museums that let visitors take pictures for personal keeps. I hope we could see a museum like this in Manila. ^_^
oh wow! this is sooooo cool! my daughter would love a visit in a museum like this to study about dinosaurs!
There is also a museum in Manila with a replica of t-rex… and some other fossils.
Superb! I bet this is really a fun-filled experience. I only saw this place on the movie “Night at the Museum” :/ Too bad
Wow! ganda naman to.. very educational… we have the same like that here in our city..pero animated.. LOL!
