Dinosaur Walk Museum Period almost 210 million years ago. It grew to be between 2–3 meters in length and less than a meter tall at the hips. Coelophysis had an unusual formation in the vertebrae, forming an "S" like shape in its neck. It is the ""official dinosaur"" of New York State. Velociraptor: Living during the late Cretaceous Period, 83-70 million years ago. The Velociraptor, a carnivore, grew to be up to in length and could grow up to 45 pounds.
