An animal like T. rex was a predator that used brain and brawn: its big brain, its great sense of smell and its really keen sense of hearing were probably as important to it, if not more so, than its sharp claws and its sharp teeth and its big jaw muscles.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e~ Steve Brusatte, Paleontologist, University of Edinburgh, author of \"The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs: A New History of a Lost World\" (2018)\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVarious mechanical studies of T. rex power place the \"Tyrant Lizard King\" firmly at the top of the charts.

The spine of a Tyrannosaurus Rex was subject to tremendous force. The size and strength of the vertebrae were essential to providing support for this enormous predator, but the entire apparatus also had to allow for rapid changes in movement and critical striking

An animal like T. rex was a predator that used brain and brawn: its big brain, its great sense of smell and its really keen sense of hearing were probably as important to it, if not more so, than its sharp claws and its sharp teeth and its big jaw muscles.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e~ Steve Brusatte, Paleontologist, University of Edinburgh, author of \"The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs: A New History of a Lost World\" (2018)\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVarious mechanical studies of T. rex power place the \"Tyrant Lizard King\" firmly at the top of the charts.

The spine of a Tyrannosaurus Rex was subject to tremendous force. The size and strength of the vertebrae were essential to providing support for this enormous predator, but the entire apparatus also had to allow for rapid changes in movement and critical striking speed.\u003c\/p\u003e"}

Stretching across the Indian Subcontinent, the remnants of these powerful flood basalts reach depths of more than 1.2 miles (2,000m). The eruption of the Deccan Traps came in relatively fast pulses just before the recognized boundary between the Cretaceous and Paleogene Periods (c. 66.8 million years ago). Sulphur-dioxide released by this eruption is thought to have cooled the planet by as much as 2°C (3.6°F), a data point which is reflected in the study of extinction rates in many smaller forms of life including foraminifera as well as larger species like the dinosaurs. The specimen in Age of Dinosaurs is a mixture of the portions of three distinct phases of the main eruption donated by Professor Gerta Keller of Princeton University.

At a minimum, the Chicxulub impactor was 6 miles (9.6km) in diameter, and the energy released likely exceeded more than 100 million megatons. Evidence of massive fires and mega-tsunamis traced to this event have been found in many areas of the world, as well as a fine layer of the element Iridium which is known today as the K-Pg Boundary Layer. The discovery of this global layer and the eventual hypothesis is credited to Nobel Laureate Dr. Luis Alvarez and his son Dr. Walter Alvarez.

Stretching across the Indian Subcontinent, the remnants of these powerful flood basalts reach depths of more than 1.2 miles (2,000m). The eruption of the Deccan Traps came in relatively fast pulses just before the recognized boundary between the Cretaceous and Paleogene Periods (c. 66.8 million years ago). Sulphur-dioxide released by this eruption is thought to have cooled the planet by as much as 2°C (3.6°F), a data point which is reflected in the study of extinction rates in many smaller forms of life including foraminifera as well as larger species like the dinosaurs. The specimen in Age of Dinosaurs is a mixture of the portions of three distinct phases of the main eruption donated by Professor Gerta Keller of Princeton University. We are very grateful for Dr. Keller’s kind donation of this material which underlies a lifetime of work on this fascinating subject.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/1715\/files\/31-KPG-85_f318bdb1-a151-42f6-8e02-7ee3f0c69eaa_1024x1024.jpg?v=1637782609\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/1715\/files\/31-KPG-85_f318bdb1-a151-42f6-8e02-7ee3f0c69eaa_1024x1024.jpg?v=1637782609\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAbove: K-Pg Boundary Material\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy contrast, \u003cstrong\u003ethe Chicxulub Asteroid Impact\u003c\/strong\u003e (c. 66 million years ago) provides a dramatic exclamation point to the end of the Mesozoic. At a minimum, the Chicxulub impactor was 6 miles (9.6km) in diameter, and the energy released likely exceeded more than 100 million megatons. Evidence of massive fires and mega-tsunamis traced to this event have been found in many areas of the world, as well as a fine layer of the element Iridium which is known today as the K-Pg Boundary Layer. The discovery of this global layer and the eventual hypothesis is credited to Nobel Laureate Dr. Luis Alvarez and his son Dr. Walter Alvarez.

In 1840, British geologist John Phillips coined the phrase "Mesozoic" from the Greek "mésos" (μέσος) meaning medial or middle. It was designed to represent the third phase of life between the current established ideas of ancient life. The Mesozoic, the Age of Dinosaurs, represents an enormous span of time in the history of life on Earth. Enough time for continents to drift apart and crash into each other once more, for seas to be born and die, and for entire branches of evolution to form and vanish.

Each specimen in this collection represents a snapshot in that era, a moment of life forever preserved in stone. With these spectacular fossils, we can visit amazing creatures that have been separated from us by tens of millions of years. You can feel the might of a Tyrannosaurus Rex between your fingers, study the bones of a sauropod, and dive deep into the Jurassic ocean.

There's no experience quite like holding a dinosaur in your hand for the first time. At Mini Museum, we think the best way to learn about the past is by making a connection with it. That's why we're proud to share these authentic items with you. What you see is not a cast or a replica; these are true fossils, each included with a certificate of authenticity. See what amazing things you can discover and bring home a dinosaur today!
