Dinosaur Expedition
Dinosaur Expedition re-creates the site of the 1997 expedition to the Sahara that unearthed Suchomimus, a never-before found species of fish-eating dinosaur, on display at CCM. With real-life expedition activities—including an authentic excavation pit—you can learn first-hand what it’s like to be a member of the expedition team!

Dinosaur Expedition was created in partnership with Project Exploration.
This exhibit was made possible with the generous support of The Albert Pick, Jr. Fund, Louis R. Lurie Foundation, and Francis L. Lederer Foundation.
