"Unicorn" Spinosaurus Discovered!

Travel back over 90 million years this spring at Chicago Children’s Museum when Paleontologist Paul Sereno presents a newly discovered species of Spinosaurus. A replica of the skull and a hands-on interactive component featuring the Spinosaurus’ crest will be installed outside of the beloved Dinosaur Expedition exhibit, which Sereno worked on with the museum in 1999-2001.

"Unicorn" Spinosaurus Discovered! an exhibition by University of Chicago Fossil Lab will be on display at Chicago Children’s Museum from March 1, through September 14, 2026. The exhibit is generously supported by a grant from Globe Foundation.
