California’s coast once teamed with life that is only evidenced today by what remains–‘dem bones! You can go to several museums to see them–dino bones are kept on the campus of Cal Berkeley, and you’ll find them on view at Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County and San Diego Natural History Museum. In L.A. there is an extensive collection of dinosaurs including an Anthrodemus, Stegosaurus, and a Tyrannosaurus. The San Diego collection includes a Nodosaurus and a full Allosaurus reconstruction.
