Dinosaur Museum to be Built in North China

North China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, famous for its dinosaurs fossils, is planning a museum exhibiting dinosaur fossils.

The museum will be located in the Eren Basin in the northern area of the autonomous region.

The ten-meter high museum, which needs an investment of 20 million yuan (approximately 2.5 million U.S. dollars), will cover an area of 4,000 sq. m.

The museum will arrange exhibition halls to show the life of dinosaurs and the fossil excavating process.

The Eren Basin is considered by paleontologists as the tomb of dinosaurs, for it reserves various species of fossilized dinosaurs.
