Become a paleontologist and mine the bones of a prehistoric Brachiosaurus that lived on Earth thousands of years ago. The set includes a plaster block with hidden dinosaur bones and digging tools. Once all the bones have been found and cleaned, the entire skeleton, approximately 28 centimeters long, can be assembled. The cardboard display card included in the kit has a lot of interesting information about the brachiosaurus. Did you know that the name brachiosaurus means shoulder lizard. This dinosaur got its name because its front legs were much longer than its hind legs. The first Brachiosaurus was discovered in 1900. Colorado, USA. The best-preserved fossils were found in Tanzania, Africa, in 1909. Brachiosaurus had sharp, sickle-shaped teeth that it used to pluck fruit, leaves, and cones from high treetops. These dinosaurs could not chew, so they swallowed rocks to break down the food in their stomachs.
