 Cecil A. Physis, a "Coelophysis", is the Museum of the Earth's official mascot.A bronze, life-size statue of Cecil, created by Brazilian sculptor Yure Berkley Lima de Alenca, can be seen near the museum's entrance.Dinosaur fossils in the Central New York region are rare, the only known ones being small footprints attributed to "Coelophysis", so the species is said to be “New York’s only known dinosaur.” A stylized running "Coelophysis" features prominently on the logos of PRI and the Museum of the Earth.
