Museum director Carol Hart says, "Some of the dinosaurs that had been once standing tall are now buried."
Some of those replica creatures - about a dozen of them - stand some 18-feet-tall.
"The structure itself is a total loss, so the future of the dinosaurs at the Vanderbilt is a little uncertain," says Hart.
The exhibit was a favorite among children. They hope to be able to salvage some of the dinosaurs.
