Apex, a 150-million-year-old Stegosaurus skeleton, is one of the most complete specimens ever found, showcasing over 254 bones, making it an exceptional addition to the museum.
Discovered in May 2022, Apex has been mounted in a defensive pose, with its tail raised, providing a captivating view for visitors to appreciate its massive size.
Apex illustrates the advanced age of some Stegosaurus specimens, being one of the rare finds that reflects significant individual longevity among its species.
The fossil will soon draw attention at the Richard Gilder Center, enhancing the museum's offerings, with plans for a more prominent display in the future.
