Activity II: PNSO Dinosaur Museum Scientific Art Exhibition of Lucio the Amargasaurus and the Superfamily Diplodocoidea: Join Us in Creating a Scientific Art Exhibition.
Children participating in the activity will learn about designing an exhibition, from planning and preparation to presentation and visiting. They will also participate in planning, designing, and presenting an exhibition.
We take exhibition, a specialized scientific art activity, as a means to integrate science and art. Children will learn about classification in biology, understand the laws of evolution, and get ideas about the differences between individuals and why the differences exist. They will be able to compare things according to logical rules, have a preliminary sense of creating characters, and eventually use artistic means in an exhibition to share their thoughts.
By taking part in the activities of PNSO Dinosaur Museum Scientific Art Exhibition of the Lucio the Amargasaurus and the Superfamily Diplodocoidea, children aged 6-12 will develop readiness in science, writing, logic, practical skills, and expression to enhance their capacities in cognition, thinking, and hands-on.


Explore the exhibition and take a first look how ZHAO Chuang and YANG Yang created Lucio the Amargasaurus.

Preface

Of all the animals that have ever appeared on Earth, the sauropod dinosaurs were the largest land animals. These dinosaurs are known for their long necks and long tails, and the largest of them could grow to more than 40 meters, making them spectacular. The superfamily Diplodocoidea is a branch of sauropods, most of which had a slender body and very long neck and tail. Their tail was distinctive in being like a whip: long, slim, and flexible. However, some members had taken a different evolutionary path in having a short neck. This choice might be related to the different plants they ate. Amargasaurus is a representative short-necked member in the superfamily Diplodocoidea. Their appearance was peculiar because they had sharp spines growing from the neck to the tail. Although the Amargasaurus was small, these spines made them look imposing.
In the exhibition “PNSO Dinosaur Museum: Lucio the Amargasaurus and the Superfamily Diplodocoidea,” we will introduce you to an Amargasaurus named Lucio and its relatives, the other members of the superfamily Diplodocoidea, to show you the lives of this peculiar group.

04 The Spines of Amargasaurus

The most salient feature of Lucio the Amargasaurus was the towering spikes, which were elongated neural spines. The spines were down from the neck all the way to the buttocks in two parallel rows. The longest ones were at the neck, and some of these could grow to 65 cm long. On the back, the spines were shorter and merged into a single row in the middle of the back. These spikes were not directly used in combat, but they made the Amargasaurus visually larger and effectively deterred predators from approaching.
