The Tylosaurus existed for about 26 million years, from about 92 to 66 mya. Not a dinosaur, but a marine reptile. Tylosaurus means, well, uh, "Knob Lizard"... SETTLE, SETTLE...
It had a knobish battering ram at the end of its snout that housed a plethora of sensory nerves to help locate prey, similar (but not necessarily identical) to sharks!
Terracotta Warriors exhibit is LEGIT, y'all...here's just a sneaky li'l peaky...real deal all the way from China!
Open to members today, tomorrow (Nov 15) to general public!
