Oddly enough, I came across the a YouTube video of a self-assembling Chasmosaurus skeletona self-assembling Chasmosaurus skeletona self-assembling Chasmosaurus skeleton (embedding was disabled for this video), although unfortunately for curators I have not known skeletons to acquiesce to fully leaving their matrix and properly arranging themselves on cue.
