A few months ago, Barbara and I traveled from Cottonwood, AZ to Mesa to visit the Arizona Museum of Natural History. This place contains a lot of dinosaur fossils, so it is right up my alley. Something to keep in mind when you see these skeletons. Due to the age of these skeletons, it is extremely rare to find a complete skeleton. So most, if not all, of the skeletons shown here are incomplete and some of the bones seen were man made. The curators here do a wonderful job of creating the missing bones. All of the dinosaurs are between 65 million and 230 million years old, living during the Mesozoic Era, while the Wooly Mammoth and the Saber-tooth Tiger, lived during the Pleistocene Epoch, AKA The Ice Ages, which began 2.6 million years ago and ended approximately 15,000 years ago. Based on geologic history, the earth will likely begin another Ice Age in approximately 85,000 years. But not to worry, as most of us likely won’t be around at that time. Dodged a Bullet!
