Attached to the gallery housing the cast skeleton of Acrocanthosaurus atokensis, this exhibit space provides
interpretive materials placing Acro in context with other dinosaurs of the Mesozoic Era. The official State Dinosaur of
Oklahoma, Acro lived during the early Cretaceous period, about 110 – 125 million years ago. The original fossil of the McCurtain County specimen was the most complete one ever recovered, and provided paleontologists new information on this “top” predator of its time. The “Den” honors the generosity of the Ed and Cindy Fulmer family.
