I think it would be distracting that paleontologists from their work.  
Besides, similar exhibits I've seen on the East Coast do not permit any type 
of participation with the researchers, in other words, the visitor can't ask 
questions or really understand what is going on without having the situation 
totally reduced to a exhibition... of T.V. monitors or plaques...
