An important aspect of dinosaur studies is the study of dinosaur footprints. On display are two models showing the skeleton and fleshed-in structure of a giant foot of a meat-eating dinosaur. The museum houses a rare 65 million year old footprint of a baby dinosaur obtained from France as well as various models of dinosaur footprints, a trackway and the claws of carnivorous dinosaurs obtained from central India. A panel explains the kind of scientific data that can be obtained from the study of footprints and how the walking and running speeds of dinosaurs can be estimated.

Also on display is a rare specimen of a "gastrolith" that is a hard chertified stone swallowed by some dinosaurs to help them grind their food in their stomachs. Gastroliths acquire smooth and polished surfaces through constant use and are used to reduce swallowed plant material into pulp: herbivorous dinosaurs usually lack strong crushing teeth and the ability to chew food in their mouths.

On exhibit are a series of real and reconstructed dinosaur teeth showing the various adaptations for plant and meat eating. A remarkable feature of meat-eating dinosaurs is the fact that the edges of their teeth are serrated in the same manner as a saw. This feature helps in the cutting up of flesh that they have eaten.
