harrisburg – State Senator Linda Schlegel Culver (R-27) I worked with Prehistoric Journeys, a Sunbury-based company, to schedule a display in the main rotunda of the state Capitol on Wednesday, December 13, from 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m., where children, parents, teachers, and the public can interact with the tibia. The six-foot-tall dinosaur.
“It’s a great opportunity for people to have an interactive experience with dinosaur greatness,” Culver said. “Most of us learned about dinosaurs as children, and we are thrilled to see our children and grandchildren learn about these mysterious creatures from the past. I am honored to work with the Sunbury Prehistoric Expeditions team to make this display possible for the people of Pennsylvania.”
The femur is from a Diplodocus dinosaur from the late Jurassic period. Diplodocus was a herbivorous dinosaur that measured about 72 feet long from the tip of its nose to the end of its tail.
Vertebrate paleontologist Barry James, who owns and operates Prehistoric Expeditions with his wife, April James, will be at the Capitol to discuss dinosaurs and answer questions. He will be accompanied by Prehistoric Tours staff Joel Dear and John DePerna.
“Seeing the fossil bones of prehistoric creatures up close always generates joy for children,” Barry James said. “The joy is evident in their eyes and smiling faces.”
Visitors will be able to take photographs with the dinosaur bone, which will be set up with the Capitol’s Christmas tree in the main rotunda.
Barry, April James and their team at Prehistoric Expeditions are working on a Triceratops skeleton, their 159th fossil project of extinct dinosaurs and mammals.
Culver worked with Barry and April James and staff at the Pennsylvania Department of General Services to coordinate and schedule the show.
