THE DINOSAURS!: THE MONSTERS EMERGE

TAPE_NUMBER: EF00/0557 IN_TIME: 17:14:56 - 18:47:42 // 21:18:04 LENGTH: 02:45 SOURCES: All APTN except shots 19-20 = ABC, shots 6-7 = American museum of Natural History VNR RESTRICTIONS: ABC = No Access North America/CBC FEED: VARIOUS (THE ABOVE TIME-CODE IS TIME-OF-DAY) SCRIPT: English/Nat XFA The U-S is in the grip of dinosaur fever. For the first time ever, museum goers in North America are able to catch a glimpse of the fossils of two dinosaurs buried alive while attacking each other some 80 (M) million years ago. At the same time, Sue - the most complete and best-preserved Tyrannosaurus Rex skeleton ever discovered - has gone on display, to the delight of American dinosaurs fans. The American Museum of Natural History in New York is proud to display its latest finds. A "Fighting Dinosaurs" exhibition features more than 30 of the best preserved and scientifically important dinosaur fossils ever discovered in Mongolia's famed Gobi Desert. Some species found during the excavation are so new they don't even have names yet. The highlights of the show are the fossils of two fighting dinosaurs. Excavated by a Polish-Mongolian team in 1971, the fossils are the only ones ever found to show dinosaurs in combat. They've been displayed in Mongolia and Central Europe, but have never been seen in North America. The fossils were preserved in near-perfect condition because they were buried alive by a sand dune in a matter of seconds. SOUNDBITE: (English) "Well it's really really rare to find animals which are snapshots of time as fossils. I mean this is an actual even which happened 80 (M) million years ago. Usually when you find a fossil it's just an animal that's died and been buried, this is actually something that happened, this a behaviour, it's a real thing. And you hardly ever find that sort of thing when you find dinosaur specimens." SUPER CAPTION: Mark Norell, Curator of "Fighting Dinosaurs" Exhibit As this animation by the museum shows, the two fighting dinosaurs are a fierce Velociraptor attacking a plant-eating, shield-headed Protoceratops. SOUNDBITE: (English) "I mean that a lot of people think that the time of the dinosaurs was this great ferocious period, and all these animals were roaring and jumping on each other. It was probably pretty much the way it is today, in areas where you have a diversity of different sizes of animals." SUPER CAPTION: Mark Norell, Curator of "Fighting Dinosaurs" Exhibit The exhibition, put together by museum scientists who have been excavating fossils from Mongolia's Ukhaa Tolgod, also features many never-before-seen specimens from the region. The fossils are unique because they depict dinosaurs behaviour captured when the animals were buried alive, like this nesting dinosaur, or this dinosaur hatchling among other unhatched eggs. "Fighting Dinosaurs" showcases discoveries and research by Museum and Mongolian paleontologists over the last 10 years and reflects the most current thinking on dinosaur traits, behaviour and evolutionary links to birds. Discoveries from China just two years ago reveal that a number of dinosaur species had feathers - and among the highlights of the exhibition are fully feathered models of Velociraptor and a nesting Oviraptor protecting its eggs. The New York exhibition is not the only one drawing attention. On Wednesday, the skeleton of Sue, the most complete and best-preserved Tyrannosaurus Rex skeleton ever discovered, went on display in Chicago. Once among the biggest and fiercest meat-eaters on earth, with teeth as long as a human forearm, Sue is now the star attraction at Chicago's Field Museum of Natural History.

DINOSAUR LOVERS HAVE A REASON TO BE EXCITED THIS SUMMER. THE AMERICAN MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY IN NEW YORK HAS REOPENED IT'S RENOWNED DINOSAUR HALLS, WHICH DISPLAY THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE COLLECTION OF REAL DINOSAUR FOSSILS IN THE WORLD. FOR MORE THAN A CENTURY, THE AMERICAN MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY IN NEW YORK, HAS BEEN A LEADING CENTER FOR THE STUDY OF DINOSAURS AND OTHER ANCIENT LIFE FORMS. NOW, THE MUSEUM'S DINOSAUR HALLS ARE BEING REOPENED AFTER A THREE YEAR RENOVATION. WITH OVER 100 RARE SPECIMENS, RANGING FROM A COMPLETE TYRANNOSAURS REX, TO A PERFECTLY PRESERVED DINOSAUR EMBRYO. THE EXHIBITION CONTAINS THE LARGEST COLLECTION OF DINOSAURS IN THE WORLD. EIGHTY FIVE PERCENT OF THE SPECIMENS ARE REAL, NOT CAST REPRODUCTIONS. THE NEW EXHIBITION PRESENTS THE LATEST INFORMATION ON DINOSAURS AND COULD PROVIDE CLUES TO PROTECTING LIFE ON EARTH. MANY OF THESE FOSSILS WERE DISCOVERED BY THE MUSEUM'S EXPEDITIONS OF THE 1920'S, LEAD BY EXPLORER, ROY CHAPMAN ANDREWS. THESE THESE EARLY FINDS ARE PRESENTED ALONG SIDE THE MUSEUM'S MOST RECENT DINOSAUR DISCOVERIES. THE HALLS ALSO ALLOW ROOM FOR DEBATE AND ARGUMENT ON THE NEWEST SCIENTIFIC REVELATIONS. THE EXHIBITION BLENDS ANCIENT FOSSILS WITH MODERN TECHNOLOGY. WITH VIDEO ANIMATION, COMPUTER DATA NETWORKS, AND TWO ROBOTIC DINOSAUR SKULLS. THE DINOSAUR HALLS HAVE RE-OPENED TO THE PUBLIC AS A PERMANENT DISPLAY, AND A RESEARCH AND LEARNING CENTER.
