SUMMARY:T. rex cetera: Dinosaurs and Other Mesozoic Monsters
DESCRIPTION: See a huge full mount T Rex and 30 other full skeletons o
	f animals\, reptiles and other specimens.Representatives of the Mesozo
	ic Era of geologic time\, including the Tyrannosaurus Rex known as Sta
	n\, have arrived at Fort Hays State University's Sternberg Museum of N
	atural History for an extended stay. "T. rex cetera: Dinosaurs and Oth
	er Mesozoic Monsters\," opened May 24\, 2008 and will run until March 
	29\, 2009\, features Stan\, at 70 percent the second most complete Tyr
	annosaurus skeleton ever found\, and more than 30 other full skeletons
	 of animals that lived during the 185-million-year span of the Mesozoi
	c Era\, comprising the Triassic\, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. Als
	o included are almost 40 other specimens\, including many skulls and o
	ther bones. The exhibition showcases fossil casts from the private col
	lection of Dr. Jack Hankla\, a Danbury\, Ky.\, dentist\, whose interes
	t in paleontology and fossil collecting has resulted in one of the mos
	t significant private collections in the United States. "We decided to
	 go with all fossil casts\, primarily because the actual fossils are j
	ust too heavy and can't be put together for an open-mount display\," s
	aid Greg Walters\, exhibits director of the Sternberg Museum. "This ex
	hibit has never been seen anywhere before\," he said\, explaining that
	 it is compiled from Hankla's collections. Some of the individual spec
	imens have been loaned out for various displays\, but this is the larg
	est exhibit ever constructed from the Hankla specimens. Some individua
	l pieces have never been displayed anywhere. Walters said the exhibit 
	has representatives from every major group of dinosaurs that lived dur
	ing the Mesozoic Era -- the various tyrannosaurs\, carnosaurs\, raptor
	s\, stegosaurs\, ankylosaurs\, hadrosaurs\, ceatopsians\, sauropods an
	d others. It also includes non-dinosaurs such as mosasaurs\, plesiosau
	rs\, crocodiles\, a complete giant turtle Archelon (15 feet from flipp
	er to flipper)\, flying reptiles and others. The fossils from which th
	e casts were made were found on five continents and lived in the air\,
	 on land and in the seas. Museum hours are Tue-Sat 9am-7pm\, and Sun. 
	1-7pm. The museum is closed on Mondays. Admission for non-members is $
	6 for adults (ages 13 to 59)\, $4 for seniors (60 and over) and youths
