Triebold Paleontology will be setting up five dinosaur skeletons to include an Appalachiosaurus (Eastern Tyrannosaurid) and Lephorothon in a “kill scene” in the lobby, as well as a Triceratops, Edmontosaurus, and  Thescelosaurus on the main exhibition floor.

NEW ANNOUNCEMENT! Heritage Auctions, the world’s premier natural history auction house, will display a 23-foot long Tyrannosaurus at the show. This specimen is expected to exceed $1 million at their New York City auction one week later. See it here first!

See the New York debut of the life-size “American Woman” sculpture by Francisco Sotomayor. She reclines on a life-size grand piano and was carved from a single 21-ton block of marble. She has been to 26 western US cities, but never before east of the Mississippi. Meet the artist and have him sign a free marble chip that came from the original block of marble. She will be featured on the NY morning shows, but come see her in person! If you missed out on viewing this amazing work of art at the Tucson Gem Show a while back – catch it here!
