. . . And if you have dinofan children to appease, try the cheerful
exhibition now at the Hancock Museum, Newcastle-upon-Tyne. It presents
life-size
replicas of nine different species from Dimorphodon to Pteranodon.
Children love
the animated models. Not too large, and you also get some real fossils,
John

outing. In
Newcastle until 31 October (Tel: 0191 222 7418), then touring.
