  But while dinosaurs might be the lure to draw people to a newly redesigned Cretaceous Hall, there will be much more to see and learn, said museum curator Tom Williamson.
  
  Work on the hall began Dec. 7 and is scheduled to be completed next summer.
  
  Lasting from about 145 million to 65 million years ago, the Cretaceous period is sometimes called the "age of the dinosaurs."
  
  Great killers like Tyrannosaurus rex stalked the jungles that covered what is now New Mexico, along with large plant-eating dinosaurs like the great crested Parasaurolophus.
  
  ...
  "It has elements that are still found living in New Mexico today," Williamson said during a recent tour of the museum's existing Cretaceous Hall.
  
  The hall, with its jungle displays, opened in July 1988, and much has changed at the Museum of Natural History since.
  
  At the time, the museum was new, and its collection of native New Mexican fossils was non-existent.
  
  "When this was built, the New Mexico Museum of Natural History didn't have any fossils," Williamson said.
  
  In the years since, Williamson and other paleontologists on the museum's research staff have scoured the state, collecting fossils and studying its natural history.
  
  The result is a growing collection housed in an annex across the street from the main museum building, used by visiting researchers from around the world.
  
  The hall's renovation will give the museum an opportunity to put some of the most impressive fossils on public display.
  
  The exhibits will include two nearly complete dinosaur skulls.One, a Parasaurolophus, became famous when Williamson and Sandia National Laboratories scientist Carl Diegert did a computer re-creation of the sound the dinosaur might have made.

  "It's long overdue," says Williamson of the new installation, the first step in the eventual renovation of the museum's second floor."It's been in the works for at least four or five years.The original plans didn't even include a big meat-eating dinosaur - because we hadn't found it yet."
  
  The skull of that big meat-eater - as yet unnamed but referred to in the exhibit as the Bisti Beast because the fossil of the adult tyrannosaur was found in the Bisti/De-na-zin Wilderness area near Farmington - is but one highlight of the new hall.Others are:
  
  The skull of a Pentaceratops, a five-horned dinosaur known to be only from New Mexico.
  ...
  A partial skull of the newly named pachycephalosaur, Sphaerotholus goodwini, which was discovered by Paul Sealey, an adjunct naturalist at the museum during a collecting trip led by Williamson in the spring of 1998.
  ...
  But Williamson, whose research has focused on the late Cretaceous Period since he was a graduate student at the University of New Mexico and an intern at the museum in the late ¹80s, was not content to just display the fossil finds, unique as they are.
  
  "We wanted to do more than just show dinosaur specimens," says Williamson, a curator at the museum since 1994."We wanted to show how dinosaurs were living animals and how paleontologists come up with how the dinosaurs might have lived.
  
  "To some extent, you'll actually experience what it was like to be in that time period."
