Every Bone in Place.

The fossil skeleton is about twenty feet
III length and weighs about a ton. 1t is
quite complete, having nearly every bone
in place. and in this respect is held to
be the most valuable specimen of its
kind in the world. Not only the bones,
but the armored points and pads, are
plainly to be seen, as we'll as many of
the wonderful plate-like spines which
adorned the back Nearly all of these
plates are present in this specimen, while
in other instances only a few have been
recovered. Strangely enough, this great
lizard-like monster of the remote past
evidently met his end in some violent
manner. for its bones We're discovered
lying in position which shows that the
animal was on it's back when it became
covered with sand and earth in which
fossilization has preserved its bones. As
it is mounted in this position, views of
the back and upper parts are to be seen
only by the aid of mirrors cleverly ar
ranged below it to show these points of
the frame structure.
This newly mounted dinosaur is one Of
many specimens belonging to the 0. c.
