@lukestokes Sometime I wonder what #steemit community is all about. Is it to earn oh no..when you get right following you will be happy and learn everyday. I am happy I get in touch with your via this post I just learn new thing which Permineralization you mentioned a rock in which some of us might think is wood or dinosaur just like you post says and I quote

One of the things I learned was that petrified "wood" isn't really wood at all! Neither are what we consider dinosaur "bones". They are also petrified. It's really just rock, created through the process of permineralization:
Permineralization is a process of fossilization in which mineral deposits form internal casts of organisms. Carried by water, these minerals fill the spaces within organic tissue. Because of the nature of the casts, permineralization is particularly useful in studies of the internal structures of organisms, usually of plants.

Thanks buddy, what a great post. I'm following to receive more detailed info from you.

I've lived an hour and a half from this place for the last 15 years and never knew it existed until now. I have a kid that loves dinosaurs, going to try to go this weekend. Amazing looking place.

Cool, I hope you make it out!

You really took a lot of pictures. I've seen some of those petrified wood pictures. I have never seen any live because we do not have many museums here.

Isn't it amazing that some of the most important causes in the world are run by nonprofit? It makes it seem like profit is the cause of the problems we have in the world today.

@greenrun said you were an awesome person. I came to see for myself and I'm amazed. I will be back and hopefully, I shall catch you in a conversation one of these days.

You have a beautiful family. You must be very grateful.

Thanks for stopping by. :) I am very grateful indeed.

Wow, that is so cool right there! I am a fan of gems and minerals, I even have a few, and I went to some similar museums in my country but here the main difference is that they don't let you touch anything, neither to have photos of their collection, and I thought this was all normal until I have read your article. It is really impressive! Thanks for the great info and have an amazing weekend next to your family!

I think it is normal, actually. That's what made this trip so incredible!

This looks like a fantastic place!!! going to send a link to my friend who is not on steemit . Isn't it funny how kids always know more about Dinosaurs than we do? What happens to a brain between childhood and adulthood to throw out all that info?
Resteemed and upvoted

He loves watching dinosaur documentaries. :)

This looks like something that I would love.
We went to the Science Center in Boston which was pretty cool. They had a lot of interactive exhibits.

I love checking out science centers when we go on road trips. Our membership in Nashville gives us access all over. It's pretty sweet. :)

Love the pictures of your family adventure which are enough to feel like we were there! I am surprised it looks like a warehouse outside and has all that inside!

Please stop upvoting this moron scammer! EVERYTHING he is charging people for is available for FREE! DO NOT SUPPORT THE SCAMMER @jerrybanfield!!

Yeah, they are looking to get a new space. I almost drove right past it until Corinne noticed the sign in the parking lot and told me to stop. :)

You sir have just added a place to my "Must Visit" List. My kids love dinosaurs.

interesting your post..thanks for sharing.

hows you feel when you touch Dinosaur real bone

Wow,,looks quite interesting to be honest I've never seen objects like that,don't you kids even adults do not want to get out of there because it's fun

WOW, this place looks amazing, specially for the kids, I am sure nobody got bored, and a day looks to short to see everything!!
Nice photos and post.

Well done! It’s brave but rewarding to take a break from the computer. You will cherish that lovely day all your life. Your son looks so good! It’s so refreshing to see daily life posts, compared to geeky stuff. Today I am taking my 9 month old boy to the supermarket. At that age, oranges and bananas are just as exciting as dinosaurs. I will try to make it rewarding like your day was, and post on it later.

Wow, they have some great looking stuff for just a boring old warehouse. I used to be a dinosaur geek when I was younger, mainly because of the Jurassic Park movies in the 90s. Still have a lot of old dinosaur books with explanation about how they lived. Used to have dinosaur toys, man I was crazy about that stuff. Cool stuff, brings back a lot of memories, thanks.

Oh my, my kids would LOVE this pace, especially my 10 year old son. He'd be talking about it for days!! You have a beautiful family!! I've never heard of the name Monet before (at least in this generation.) I love it - very fitting for your daughter as she's sitting there intent on what's at the table in front of her. Sooo cute!!

sharing with family, going out to see a new place with our children is a wonderful thing. Blessings for your family.

What an awesome place to take the family. I think my kids would be trying to pull me away from the sand box with a special projector if it works the way I think it does: changing color and moving topo lines with how you change the sand? Soooo cooooool!!
Thanks for sharing all these cool photos and educational info.

wow this are very beautiful pictures you have shared. history dead but not lost but sometimes i imagine how it will be if those beats are living among us.

Dinosaur fossils.. cool. Awesome museum... And jewels, wood.. superb. I always love this kind of stuff...
