The larger, "Hall of Dinosaurs" floor is divided by
period, the two larger halls belonging to the
Jurassic and
Cretaceous, with the
Triassic hall between them. Alongside the Triassic hall there are also displays for the
Permian period, prehistoric oceans, modern birds, feathered dinosaurs, and mineral and gemstone cavern. The Jurassic hall includes over sixteen genera of dinosaurs and other animals from the time period, as well as a section devoted to plate tectonics, earthquakes, and volcanoes. The Cretaceous hall includes over nineteen genera of dinosaurs from the time period and a small
Cenozoic area covering human evolution with dioramas, skeletons, and paleolithic tools. Notable inclusions include a full size
Parasaurolophus, an attack scene with two
Allosaurus ganging up on a
Diplodocus represented in full size skeletons, and a forty-six foot long
Giganotosaurus skeletal reconstruction. The second floor's "Ancient Cultures" floor is separated by region with displays for Central Africa and
New Guinea, followed by larger sections for
ancient Egypt,
Mesoamerica, and China which include duplications of King
Tutankhamun's tomb,
Terracotta Army soldiers, and
Chichen Itza's temple of warriors, alongside dozens of authentic artifacts and taxidermy animals in display cases from both the indicated regions and neighboring areas up to 6,500 years before present. ==Notes ==
