ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers
Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.
*****************************************************************************
The Field Museum has (or had) a model of a Parasaurolophus skull with a bellow attached. Pump the bellows, and hear the sound the animal is presumed to have made.
They also had a model of a sauropod stomach with gizzard stones. Rotate the stomach, and see the stones smash up plant material. That one I'm sure is gone now.
The Audubon Zoo in New Orleans had a suite of mechanical dino exhibits. I recall various metal models demonstrating the differing gaits of dinos and other reptiles. There were others, but it's been many years...
