Prehistory Mystery

I like to read and think about
Tyrannosaurus rex,
and gigantic brontosaurus,
with his long and slender neck.
                                    
Pterodactyl was a reptile
that flew just like a crow.
I wouldn't want him overhead,
with me stuck down below.             
                                                   
Their skeletons are on display, 
so everyone can see 'em.
They're in a place--I think it's called   
the dinosaur museum.                                           
                                                  
I've seen these creatures on TV,
in movies, and in books,
so I guess someone must really know
exactly how they looked.                    

But I wish someone would tell me 
how they determined whether
these critters were upholstered with
hair, or scales, or maybe--feathers.
