Dinosaurs: New visions of a lost world Michael J. Benton
Event details
Dinosaurs are not what you thought they were - or at least, they didn’t look like you thought they did!
World-leading palaeontologist Michael J. Benton brings us a new visual guide to the world of dinosaurs, showing how rapid advances in technology and amazing new fossil finds have forever changed the way we see these extinct beasts.
Learn about Kulindadromeus and its surprising mixed feathers and scales; hear about Sinosauropteryx, the first dinosaur to have its colour patterns identified - a ginger-and-white striped tail and a ‘bandit mask’; and discover more about Michael’s cutting-edge research.
