1. Stegosaurus Stenops / Velociraptor Mongoliensis Marker
Stegosaurus Stenops
Nickname: "Dale
Unlike other dinosaurs represented here, Stegosaurus lived during the Late Jurassic period, more than 145 million years ago. McCauley created this sculpture at COSI in June 2016.
Velociraptor Mongoliensis
Nickname: "Fredrick"
Velociraptor had feathers. Paleontologists discovered quill knobs (where feathers attach to the bone) on a well-preserved Velociraptor in 2007. McCauley envisioned how the pieces of this and his other sculptures would fit together before he began assembling them.
Erected by COSI; with a grant from Ohio Arts Council.
