I actually don’t remember the dinos at the Exploratorium. I remember those guys who were dissecting a cow’s eye, and me jumping up and down in that strobe light room where it left your shadow on the wall.As a kid, I loved dinosaurs. I grew up in the San Francisco bay area - and some of my favorite memories were that of visiting the San Francisco Exploratorium. So many fascinating displays - and dinosaurs!!!
My parents purchased some delightful toy dinosaurs for me and my siblings to play with - T. Rex (of course!), Triceratops, Stegosaurus, Allosaurus, Brontosaurus and others.
Later in life I became fascinated with mass extinction events. And my favorite extinct animal shifted from T. Rex, to the Gorgonopsia - fearsome top predators and mammal precursors predating dinosaurs. Likely they were intelligent, thoughtful but aggressive beings - killed off by the Permian-Triassic extinction event - likely due to runaway volcanic activity.
But if you’re interested in mass extinction events, I suggest you check out the aggregate transfer value of everyone on Utd’s roster.
