The dinosaur, which roamed
Bristol over 200 million years ago, is one of the most important
in the world.
It is one of the oldest plant-eating
dinosaurs, and is closely related to the huge plant-eaters
like Diplodocus and Brachiosaurus.
The Bristol Dinosaur Project,
run by Bristol University's Department of Earth Sciences,
aims to introduce school children of every age to science
through dinosaurs - and the Bristol dinosaur in particular.
The aim is to have an interactive
exhibit displaying the dinosaur and the environment in which
it lived.
School children in Bristol
will be able to visit the laboratory at the University, or
see the work involved in reconstructing Thecodontosaurus and
its environment in their own school.
At-Bristol will link in with
the project and over the next few months will be holding 'hands-on'
educational workshops for school students in the local area.
You can visit Bristol's dinosaur
on Saturday September 14.
The exhibition is part of
Doors Open Day in the Wills Memorial Building, Queen's Road,
Bristol.
