Sternberg- The T-Rex

Sternberg- The T-Rex

After viewing the T-Rex skull replica I was automatically drawn to the large fossil reconstruction of a full T-Rex. What an awesome beast it must have been. The lighting directed at the t-rex gave it an eerie appearance, adding to its awesomeness. All along the railing in front of the fossil display were cards giving explanations about different aspects of the T-Rex. It was difficult to get a chance to read these explanations as many people lingered at this location. There were a lot of posed photographs taken -- momentos of standing beside a life-sized T-Rex.

Sternberg - Viewing the T-Rex Skull

A replica of a T-Rex skull is mounted on a pedestal that rotates and allows you a 360 degree view. I noticed several of the museum visitors standing rooted to the ground as they contemplated the skeletal replica of this great extinct creature. I know that I vastly appreciated the turning of the display as otherwise certain aspects would have been continually against the backdrop and denied to our view. I was also fascinated with the way the lighting was arranged and the effect it had on how the skull was perceived.
