Peirópolis is a rural district of Uberaba, located on the banks of the BR-262 highway, 20 km from the city center. In the early twentieth century, it stood out as a producer of limestone and today is tourist attraction of the municipality due to the fossils found nearby. In the old disabled railway station of Cia. Mogiana, today the Museum of the Dinosaurs, is part of the Cultural Scientific Complex of Peirópolis. The neighborhood also has inns, restaurants and a park with dinosaur replicas.

Since the 1940s, paleontological discoveries have already brought new fame to the region. Informed that bone fossils had been found during the rectification works of the Mogiana line, gaucho paleontologist Llewellyn Ivor Price (1905-1980) began working in Peirópolis in 1947. He performed a systematic excavation in the region of Caieira, between 1949 and 1961. As a result, hundreds of fossilized bones were recovered from the Late Cretaceous period (100 to 65 million years ago), mainly dinosaurs from the Titanosaurus group

In Peirópolis were found fossils of three groups of dinosaur:

Titanosaurus, was the first one that had records in the region. They are fossils of large herbivorous and quadruped dinosaurs
Terópodes, fossils of a carnivorous dinosaur were found as margins of the BR 050 during a duplication of highways, as well as having been recorded through teeth and small groups in the excavations of the collection point.
Velociraptor, is a somewhat smaller group not finding dinosaurs as well as those portrayed in the film Jurassic Park.

Upon arrival at the museum, visitors are faced with a huge replica of a herbivorous dinosaur, the work of the artist and sculptor Northon de Azevedo Fenerich. In the showroom there are dozens of replicas and illustrations that together with the fossils show details and characteristics of each animal, plus a glass wall showing the laboratory where the research and cleaning of the fossils are done. In the year 2014 6 new replicas were added to the exterior of the building (which was a former train station), one of these replicas corresponds to the Uberabasuchus terrificus.

At school, I learned that in Peirópolis there are not only real fossils, but also replicas exhibited in the museum. I also learned that in Peirópolis, there are some rivers where we can swim and that every year several schools from all over Brazil go there to visit the museum.
