“Toto, I’ve a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore.”
This scene represents a moment in time 83 million years ago, in what is now the state of Kansas, which was covered by a body of water known as the Western Interior Seaway and populated by diverse, prehistoric marine life. In this diorama near Dinosaurs in Their Time, an agile marine reptile, Dolichorhynchops bonneri, dives after the penguin-like bird, Hesperornis regalis.
