HOW BIG JOHN MADE ITS WAY TO TAMPA BAY

Guinness World Record holder for the largest documented triceratops skeleton, Big John was discovered by paleontologist and professional fossil hunter Walter W. Stein (right) in South Dakota’s Hell Creek geological formation and made its way to Tampa after Sidd Pagidipati (pictured top, with his wife Ami) purchased the record-breaking dinosaur at an auction. He told us it was his intention to bring the dinosaur to Tampa Bay for all to see. “We want to inspire thousands of families here to activate their interest in science. We want to do our small part in making Tampa Bay the best place to raise a family in America.”
