      Things were kinda fast-paced for us that weekend. We had found out we'd even be in Chicago a few days earlier, and on a whim I messaged the museum to see if we might be able to have permission to shoot something. Our schedule the day-of only allowed for a few hours to shoot. We hope to come back and do more when our shooting schedule opens back up though, so in the future maybe we'll announce it and see what happens! --Elizabeth

    The Field Museum? I was just there on Memorial Day (about a week ago now)! Such a cool place! Too bad they no longer had Cryolophosaurus up, but I did get to see the new “fat Sue,” so I guess that makes up for it! 😆
    That Patagotitan in the lobby, Maximo, is impressive as all hell! They even had a 3-D movie about him when we were there, which wasn’t nearly long enough, but still a fun watch. It’s hard to believe something that large ever roamed the Earth, but it obviously did. Wish I could have seen it live - y’know, without the carnivores threatening my very existence.

If "you" was a singular word it would be followed by "is" but it isn't, because it's a plural word. Eventually the singular use became super common but it's still followed by "are" even though that grammatically makes no sense. Now the same thing is happening to "they".

    I moved out of Chicagoland before they took Sue out of the main hall, and really miss this amazing museum. It feels really good being able to see what the Field is up to without peering at still photos. I really hope you get a chance to hit the Field again once Sue is fully mounted, that would be awesome.
    My family was frankly skeptical about her re-mount. We were all there the day they revealed Sue's original mount (the woman Sue who found the dinosaur Sue was really nice. I unwittingly sat next to her in the audience for something. She had her dog Skywalker with her. We chatted while we were waiting for the thing to start, I didn't even know who she was until she stood to be acknowledged. I still remember her. I was tiny, and she probably doesn't remember me, but she was really patient and kind) and so we had some pre-established loyalty/nostalgia about the previous mount. It did help that I could explain to everyone in my family how far we've come since that year in terms of knowing where important pieces go, etc.
    My family still live near there, I'll certainly be ordering them to the new Sue mount at some point so I can see their pictures and hear their descriptions at least.
    Being far from things you're interested in can be really obnoxious.

    Can you please review the fleshed out model of sue at the Denver Museum of Science? It looks horribly off to me. The femur seems too short, the knee too high (when compared w their skeleton). I know they’ve updated the gastralia but it seems like it’s chest is absurdly large now, to the point that I cannot imagine the tail would actually function as a proper counterbalance. I need to know, WE need to know!

    yet, I expected more criticism on its mount, because whenever I see any tinatosaur reconstruction, I always think they look odd, like something's wrong, like bad plastic toys of "generic" sauropods. They don't look believable as living creatures, more like built-up static constructions, and pose feels wacky.

Saw Sue the T. rex last in 2010 then in the main gallery, she's moved up stairs in her own special exhibit for a new giant sauropod Patagotitan in the main entrance gallery. First visited the museum in 1966 and could pet the Lions of Tsavo exhibit mountings back then. I remember when I first saw the mounts I thought" wow someone shot the heck out of them" not knowing the story about John Henry Pattersons amazing history.

    Wow. The last time I was at the Field Museum, the main display at the front of Stanley Hall was actually the Albertosaurus and Lambeosaurus pairing. I understand that now they have amended the same setup to denote that the reconstructed Albertosaurus was actually a Daspletosaurus, but at the time, it was still labeled Albertosaurus. Also, the first time I went there, the posture was more upright a la Godzilla... and the last 2 times, I went, the amended modern understanding of Tyrannosaurid posture had been applied to the then still Albertosaurus.

Also a cool thing to do would be your dinosaurs are wrong on videogames a cool idea for the series.

    Could you do a video on amphicoelias fragillimus? The lost specimen, the size speculation, what estimate is most reasonable, appearence, etc?

    My votes on Denver's Museum of Nature of Science for your next outing! I have a feeling the Tyrannosaur in the entrnce has a few mounting issues with its age

    I was really disappointed to see that the Museum of Natural History hasn't updated their dinosaurs to match knowledge we've known for 50 years!

    I was wondering, because I was there very recently(saw you guys while you were there!) and I was wondering why the dinosaur exhibit still says the majungasaurus name is still majungatholus?

    I have many happy memories of the Field Museum, going back over 50 years. I understand why they have to update their mounts, but I long for the mounts from my childhood, inaccurate as they may have been. Science marches on, and it is more important for the children of today to get accurate information than for old geeks like me to walk down memory lane.....

    I would be fascinated to find out what the justification or reasoning is behind that pronunciation of "Patagotitan", which I for one have never heard before. You wouldn't say "pa-TAG-oh-NI-a" so why is it "pa-TAG-o-TI-tan"? Is it the same reason why it's "SAUR-o-LO-phus" but "PA-ra-SAUR-o-LO-phus" doesn't follow (unless you're in a godless Commonwealth country)?

      But if I try to put the emphasis on GO in Patagotitan, that makes the 'titan' sound kind of anemic. "pa-ta-GO-ti-tan?" I guess "pa-ta-go-TI-tan" with only one syllable emphasized would be better?

      Pronunciation is simpler in french. You silly english speakers with your silly lexical stress.

      Just use the Spanish pronunciation, Pa-ta-goh-tee-TAN
