Secrets of the Stegosaur

One hundred and fifty million years is a long time to hold on to your secrets. Join our panel to find out how scientists can reconstruct entire prehistoric animals from fossilised bones, and what techniques modern-day palaeontologists use to bring the past to life. Stegosaurus has captured the public imagination since the first fossilised stegosaur skeleton was discovered in Colorado, USA, in the second half of the 19th century. The Museum’s new skeleton represents one of the most complete specimens ever found. Our researchers are studying the fossilised remains to discover more about this mysterious creature. See how well you really know our new Stegosaurus and learn how to answer fundamental questions about dinosaurs, from how they evolved, to how they moved around the Mesozoic landscape.
