In 1879, the skeleton of a Brontosaurus was not only mistakenly classified as a species separate from the previously discovered Apatosaurus, but was also matched with the wrong skull. As the error wasn't officially corrected until 1970, this 1960s Sinclair Oil model was designed with the same mistake and continues to stand with the wrong head today.
Created by the late wildlife sculptor Louis Paul Jonas, it was once part of the Sinclair Oil pavilion at the 1964-65 New York World's Fair. Following the fair, it toured the country with its brethren before finding a home at Dinosaur Valley.
