Dinosaur and Archeology Fossils

After years of cleaning and preparation in the University of Chicago Dinosaur Lab, the dinosaur bones are cast and assembled into dinosaur skeletons and flesh models. Eventually the new species of dinosaurs are named and announced and the dinosaur photos are released to the public internationally.
