When the Delaware Museum of Natural History reopens in 2022, it will include an expanded PaleoZone featuring species that lived right here in the Mid-Atlantic United States during the Cretaceous Period, including a skeleton of the fearsome terrestrial Dryptosaurus. By donating through Do More 24 Delaware on March 4 and 5 from 6 p.m. to 6 p.m., you’ll help bring the Dryptosaurus to Delaware, and fascinate a whole new generation of our children.
