Event showcasing artistic works or objects. - In the dinosaur park, a unique exhibition showcases the "Big Five" prehistoric creatures.
These bipedal meat-eaters could grow up to a staggering ten meters tall and were not just known for their large jaws, but also for their sharp claws. Five of the biggest predatory dinosaurs in Europe during ancient times are the stars of a new special exhibit at the Teufelsschlucht Dinosaur Park in the southern Eifel region. This display, which runs from May 1st to November 3rd, is a joint project with the Münchehagen Dinosaur Park, the Hannover Museum, the Dinosaur Isle Museum on the Isle of Wight, the Dino Parque Lourinhã, and the Museu da Lourinhã in Portugal.
The highlight of the exhibition includes fossil discoveries from Germany, Portugal, and England, providing a peek into the research behind these dinosaurs that lived approximately 166 to 125 million years ago. Visitors can see bones, claws, teeth, reconstructed skulls, and a replica of a predatory dinosaur clutch with elongated eggs. These findings will be showcased for the first time outside the participating museums and research institutions.
Some of the exhibits include Allosaurus, Torvosaurus, Wiehenvenator, Baryonyx, and Neovenator. Of the top five biggest predatory dinosaurs in Europe, Torvosaurus and Wiehenvenator were found in Germany. The showcase also features a cast of one of the best-preserved predatory dinosaur fossils in the world, discovered in Bavaria: an almost fully preserved juvenile of the Sciurumimus.
The dinosaur park along the German-Luxembourg border offers an opportunity to explore around 600 million years of the earth's history. Here, you can encounter about 180 life-sized models of various dinosaurs, amphibians, and giant insects that ruled our planet for nearly 170 million years. The park, launched in 2015, also provides an exciting fossil preparation workshop for palaeontological research in the region. Most recently, one of the park's scientists carefully prepared an "extraordinary finding from Luxembourg," a 400-million-year-old fossil of a colossal sea scorpion, destined for the National Museum of Natural History in Luxembourg.
