The Titanosaur is ousting a long-term resident of the fourth floor, a juvenile Barosaurus. But given the size difference between the two, the Titanosaur will have to poke its head and neck out of the gallery towards the elevators, as if to greet visitors.
The January unveiling is just the beginning of a year of special dinosaur happenings at the museum, propelled by dramatic recent developments in palentology. The field has advanced way beyond geology, now utilizing technology to look at topics such as how dinosaur brains develop and the color of their feathers.
And speaking of feathers...next up for 2016 is "Dinosaurs Among Us," an exhibition examining how one group of dinosaurs evolved into birds. It opens on March 19.
