Dino is located at west end of Assumption Park. The painted finish is severely flaking off in large plates, some up to 10 cm 2 , and are scattered below. Due to breaks in the finish, water ingress along with freeze-thaw cycles will only accelerate the deterioration of the painted finish, the fiberglass form, and the internal metal structure. The maintenance regularly provided by the Summer Student Sculpture Park Conservation Assistants, is no longer feasible due to the present vulnerabilities. It is strongly recommended that the object be removed as soon as possible.

Triceratops (WSP.2002.006) is a life-sized, painted fibreglass dinosaur attributed to Louis Paul Jonas made in 1962- 64. It is thought to be part of Sinclair Oil Corporation’s “Sinclair’s Dinoland”, a fair pavi lion that debuted at the 1964- 1965 New York World’s Fair and then traveled throughout the United States. Like Dino (above), Triceratops was likely acquired by Mr. Odette in the 1990s, and its physical state at that time is unknown. It has been repainted at least two times and its original colour is undetermined. The 2012 appraised value of this piece was $9660.

Triceratops is displayed with Dino in Assumption Park. While in better condition than Dino , it shows the early stages of the same type of paint instability and delamination with similar water ingress issues and overall degradation. Without active intervention this object will experience similar issues within five years. Relocation to a safer location is recommended as soon as possible. Deaccession is also recommended for the same reasons mentioned above, lack of repair options and inability to repair in an ethical manner along with a questionable context within the collection and Windsor’s history.
