Organized into four sections: The Early Seas, Conquest of the Land, The Age of Dinosaurs and The Age of Mammals, each reflects a major episode of natural history. While nearly all of the specimens in this hall are real fossils, a few are casts, or precise replicas.

  • View an exceptionally fine specimen of Mesosaurus, a reptile that provided early evidence of Continental Drift
  • Discover an example of the earliest known land plant See a trilobite trapped in a seashell nearly 400 million years ago.
