Jane: Diary of A Dinosaur
Thursday January 28, 2010 from 12:00pm - 5:00pm
Burpee Museum of Natural History
737 N Main St
Rockford, Illinois 61103 Get Directions
"Jane" the Rockford T. rex is a renowned juvenile Tyrannosaurus rex discovered in the Hell Creek Formation in southern Montana. After four years of preparation, Jane is now on display as the centerpiece of the permanent exhibit 'Jane: Diary of a Dinosaur.' She was 11 years old at death. Visitors are able to discover what happened during the 66 million years she lay buried, visit a re-creation of the expedition's Montana base camp, and view Jane's fully restored 21-foot skeleton. In July of 2006 The Science Channel aired 'The Mystery Dinosaur,' a one-hour documentary on the discovery and continuing scientific argument over whether Jane is a juvenile T. rex or an adult Nanotyrannus lancensis. In 2006 the American Association of Museums honored the Burpee Museum with its 2006 Excellence in Exhibition Award for this exhibit.
