Your daughters are super adorable. It's interesting that they still have a lot of old mounts that they haven't updated with new data. I wonder why? Too risky if they contain the real bones, I guess.
The thing is, usually fossil halls one big update every 30 or so (very rough) years. This current version of the exhibits is from the late 80s to 1995. The info is coming up on 30 years old. So that's why some of the mounts/science is sadly and glaringly outdated. The Smithsonian just opened their new fossil hall. Their old hall was from the If you see the difference between the old and new hall it's crazy. These are great blog posts all about it: extinctmonsters.net/2017/11/06/looking-back-at-fossils-history-of-life/ extinctmonsters.net/2015/04/03/history-of-the-amnh-fossil-halls-part-2/
tyro 5027 seemingly complete, yet has no belly protector ribs. May have been missed or not fossilized. Those terribly clawed smaller critters like smaller tyros might have attacked lower on the abdomen, and those may or may not have been very good armor. We do better in combat with belly armor, and I am sure this wrestler would have also.
great video, I was there with another paleoenthusiast 4 days before you. though I would just like to point out that the ornitholestes mount is out of date. the crest was a misinterpretation of the missing portions of the nasal and premaxillary bones. the notch was further pronounced by post mortem crushing while rocks were being shifted and crushed. The hands were probably pretty poor at grasping if its stance within maniraptoran tree is to date (a basal member). rather, the hands would be unpronated, in a clapping stance with the hand facing backwards and were probably covered in wings. the tail was also not curved and rather straight and much stiffer than portrayed. Scott Hartman did a recent skeletal diagram that should be of great use :)
Thanks I forgot about that recent study about discrediting the crest... and yes if it is a maniraptoran then it would lack the flexibility in the wrist, just want to find one of these someday, and add a better specimen..
Thanks for sharing this visit. I've never been to a dinosaur museum.
Thank you for the upload. For people like me who may never see this in real life - this is a treat. Thanks so much.
So informative Hope thailand have like this too. I would go and touch the groud of this museum once in mylife.
Cool video I wanna go visit this museum myself one day
