The Lost World

A tyrannosaurus, triceratops and mammoth looking rather nonplussed to find themselves in unfamiliar territory. And they are not going to be happy when they turn around to see Sears Tower (it will never be Willis Tower to me!) looming. 

This is one of the sculptures on the Roosevelt Road Bridge. 

Created by Hungarian-American sculptor Miklos Simon (b. 1960) there are three versions of the bronze artworks. Each of the versions includes a stack of books topped with a globe and relates to one of the three museums located at the south end of Grant Park near the eastern terminus of the bridge. The sculptural group symbolizing the Field Museum of Natural History has dinosaurs and a woolly mammoth topping the globe.
