AMNH: Floor 4, Section 3.
The 1990’s saw a complete reimagining of the Museum’s fossil halls. Instead of traditional chronologically arranged fossil displays, which the Museum had previously implemented, the new halls were displayed according to evolutionary relationships. These new halls included the Halls of Saurischian and Ornithischian Dinosaurs, Lila Acheson Wallace Wing of Mammals and Their Extinct Relatives, which includes the Hall of Primitive Mammals and the Paul and Irma Milstein Hall of Advanced Mammals, the Hall of Vertebrates Origins, and the Miriam and Ira D. Wallach Orientation Center. (4, 1994/96, p. 5)
The Milstein Hall of Advanced Mammals features extinct mammal relatives such as mammoths, mastodons, saber-toothed cats, camels, and giant ground sloths. This hall also includes mammals with such modern traits as the hoof, a stirrup-shaped ear bone, and eye sockets near the snout, as well as traits found in primitive mammals: the synapsid opening in the skull, three middle ear bones, and the placenta. Among the animals represented are bats, rodents, rabbits, cats, seals, bears, primates, deer, horses, whales, and elephants. The major highlights of the hall include the Warren mastodon, mammoth, saber-toothed cat, Irish elk, cetaceans, and the Evolution of Horses. (1)
