This clip works almost perfectly with Shaoxing (Yue) Opera.

Yes, yes it is, And having just seen Dinosaur National Monument, it’s even more poignant.

@frosty: How did you like Dinosaur National Monument?
I was there when it was just open, but the road wasn’t paved or well-marked yet. Dad got out of our 57 Ford to see where the road was, if it curved to the left or continued straight, because he couldn’t see over the hood of the car. It sounds ridiculous but I’ve had that same experience in the eastern Sierras on a dirt road, just the once, but both were places where you don’t want to leave the road.
I must have been about 7 or 8, and have only the vaguest memory of a building built around a hillside with some very big bones imbedded in the rock.

@opiejeanne: They rebuilt the building since you were there. It’s impressive, and it was the wish of the archeologist to leave a wall with partially excavated fossils, which they did. The Quarry Wall (which is what you saw) is about 1/4 left of all the rock and fossils that they excavated. There were at least 20 complete skeletons, many of which are in the Carnegie Museum in Pittsburgh.

That must have been a few years ago. The Field Museum moved Sue, the T-Rex, upstairs to a gallery of its own. They have a Titanosaur named Máximo there now, from Argentina. It’s considerably larger. Here it is being assembled.

It’s the final scene in ‘Planet of the Dinosaurs’.

Just wondering how they explained it to the small child watching.
And yes, it was poignant in spite of being played for laughs.

The little kid’s response is priceless.

We just had a T-Rex show up in our library last week. Are they coming back from extinction?

I visited Dino National Monument with Wife in around 1991. When I went back some years later with a friend, the building over the rock face full of giant bones was closed, asbestos pollution IIRC.
Hope it’s reopened now, was stunning to visit and lay hands on ancient bonz!!! And Wife and I drove into the monument way east of the quarry, across a high mesa where people on horses were herding cattle from one ranch to another, with kids in front of them on the horse, was also astonishing.
We got to see the badlands from up on top of that mesa, no wonder they need to use helicopters to access the newer sites deep in the monument’s territory. That’s why they stopped excavating at the quarry in the building, better localities found deeper into the badlands.

Must confess I was hoping to see the little girl pet the dinosaur.
