Allosaurus fragilis.

No, that’s not the name of an album by the Police. That’s the scientific moniker for the dinosaur currently being constructed at the Cincinnati Museum Center. Through July 8th, paleontologists will be putting together the skeleton of an A. fragilis for a future exhibit at the Museum of Natural History and Science. And you can watch these scientists putting the dinosaur back together through a special Web cam available right here on CETconnect.org.

The project, called Bone By Bone, is truly fascinating as you watch the meticulous work that goes into recreating and rebuilding the past. I encourage you to check in daily.

P.S. Of course, we have daily sightings of a certain purple dinosaur of our own right here on CET, but did you know this? Kevin Clash, the gentleman behind Sesame Street’s Elmo, was the puppeteer & voice for Baby Sinclair on the old television show, Dinosaurs.
