Tellus Science Museum Unveils Life-Size Replica of Prehistoric 'Terror Croc'
The Tellus Science Museum in Cartersville, Georgia, has unveiled a life-size replica of Deinosuchus schwimmeri, a prehistoric crocodilian that lived in the eastern United States between 83 million and 76 million years ago. This massive predator, known for preying on dinosaurs, could grow up to 31 feet long. The replica was created through a collaboration between Dr. David Schwimmer, a geology professor at Columbus State University, and Triebold Paleontology Inc. The project took two years to complete and is the first scientifically accurate, fully mounted skeleton of the species. The museum aims to educate visitors about the region's ancient ecosystem during the Cretaceous Period.
