Adventure Science Center is actively working to acquire a variety of casts and has confirmed the inclusion of a Deinonychus. This species could grow up to 11 feet long and lived during the Cretaceous Period about 115 – 108 million years ago. The first remains were uncovered in 1931 in southern Montana. Fossil Frontiers will also include educational information about the Edmontosaurus, a herbivore that also lived during the Cretaceous Period and the only land dinosaur fossil found in Tennessee.
