The skull was carefully transported to the museum, where several months later, it was put on display in pride of place in their dinosaur hall.
It was the opening day for the skull to be revealed to the public, and Owen wanted to take a few more photos before the doors opened.

Being a totally new, previously unknown species of dinosaur, it had needed a name.
...and the honour of naming a brand new species always fell to the paleontologist who had unearthed it.
Well, the skull had reminded Owen so much of a dragon, that he chose to name it Drako-saurus....
"It's going to be interesting to see the public's reaction."
"Well, time to open the doors, and let them in."
The first to arrive was a class of students from a prestigious private school. The teacher knew many of her students were very interested in dinosaurs, so she had arranged for her class to take a field trip to see the exhibit on the opening day....
Owen was there to give them a private tour...
"Come on in everyone."
