interview with the Wiesbaden-based science writer Ernst Probst:
Question: What is the Dinotherium Museum?
Answer: Dinotherium Museum in Eppelsheim (Kreis Alzey-Worms) in Rheinland-Pfalz exhibits finds and reproductions of fossils from around ten million year old sediments of the ancient Rhine. These deposits are referred to as Dinotherien-sands, because it remains the Rhine-mentioned elephant Deinotherium giganteum, which is popularly called Dinotherium.
