The new University of Chicago fossil lab, which opened Thursday on the South Side, is home to the 'Super Croc,' a fossil of a 40-foot long crocodile that roamed the Earth about 110 million years ago.
A University of Chicago dinosaur fossil lab opened Thursday in Washington Park, showcasing the discoveries of archeologist and professor Paul Sereno.It's home to 6,000 square feet of dinosaur fossils.Among the fossils at the lab is one of the largest crocodiles ever discovered. It measures 40 feet, and the skull is 6-feet long.
Along the way, he and his teams have also uncovered some of the earliest human remain, including a mother and two children buried while holding hands. And it's all "I know there's nothing like this... nothing as great as this," said Cecilia Butler with the Washington Park Advisory Council. "And I want the world to know, to come to Washington Park."
"Now I realize the importance of having this in the Washington Park Community and how it can open the eyes of a lot of young people," 3rd Ward Ald. Pat Dowell said.
