Dinosaur Detectives: Visit New Mexico's prehistoric past with your junior paleontologist! We'll travel through time to meet our state fossil from the Triassic, Coelophysis. We'll stomp through the Jurassic swamps with Seismosaurus and Saurophaganax, and swim through our Cretaceous seas like a mosasaur! We'll discover what characteristics make a Pentacertops a dinosaur and why a pterosaur is not a dinosaur!
