INTRODUCING EXPEDITION DINOSAUR: Into the deep

Embark on a mesmerizing journey through time with Expedition Dinosaur: Into the Deep, the third chapter in Stage 9 Exhibit’s acclaimed Expedition Dinosaur series. Dive into Earth’s distant past and explore the Jurassic period (201 to 145 million years ago), uncovering the stories of ancient oceanic and aquatic reptiles through the latest paleontological discoveries.

Experience cutting-edge animatronics that bring the past to life, featuring realistic recreations of iconic species like Tyrannosaurus Rex, Torosaurus, Anzu Wyliei, Dakota Raptor, Stegosaurus, Pterosauria, and more. Step into the underwater world of ancient reptiles such as Dakosaurus and Cryptoclidus, and discover the marine creatures that once ruled Earth’s seas.

This 7,000-square-foot exhibit explores fascinating questions, including:

How do we know about oceanic reptiles?
Learn how paleontologists study ancient life using fossil excavation, CT scans, and 3D modeling. Understand the importance of the Jurassic period’s geological and environmental conditions.

Where did they live?
Explore Jurassic oceans like the Panthalassic and Tethys Seas, and see how marine reptile fossils found across Europe, the Americas, Asia, and Antarctica reveal the structure of prehistoric marine ecosystems.

What did they eat?
Discover the diets of these marine reptiles—from fish to squid—and their roles in the ocean food chain.

Where are the fossils found?
Learn about major fossil sites such as the Posidonia Shale, Blue Lias, and Sundance Formations, and why they’re critical to our understanding of oceanic reptiles.

What are the most fascinating marine reptiles ever discovered?
Get to know incredible species like the dolphin-like Ichthyosaurs, the long-necked Plesiosaurs, the powerful Mosasaurs, and unique creatures like Dakosaurus and Cryptoclidus.

Expedition Dinosaur: Into the Deep is an immersive, educational adventure through the prehistoric oceans of our planet’s past.
