Hello everybody So this is another Museumreport from Germany. This time the famous Senckenberg Museum in Frankfurt. I would say this is one of the best Collections in Germany. One important note: They have a lot Cast Skeletons. I will lable every picture indicating if its a real fossil or "just" a cast. All Casts are copies of real fossils. I labled as many fossils with names as possible Enjoy Tyrannosaurus Rex Cast Triceratops horridus Cast Triceratops prorsus Real Supersaurus vivianae Cast Stegosaurus stenops Cast Iguanodon bernissartensis Cast Diplodocus longus Real (mounted skull is a cast, real skull at the bottom to see it better) Plateosaurus engelhardti Real Giraffatitan brancai Real (still labled in the museum as Brachiosaurus) Euoplocephalus tutus Cast Quetzalcoatlus northropi Cast Psittacosaurus mongoliensis Real Parasaurolophus walkeri Cast Archaeopteryx lithographica Real (a welcome suprise, I wasn't aware they got the real 11th Archaeopteryx) Edmontosaurus annectens Real (very impressive fossil, parts of the skin is still visible) Anhanguera santanae Real (there is a cast of the position it was found, but the single skull and bones on the right are the real ones) Some eggs Oviraptor is a cast Archaeopteryx lithographica and Compsognathus longipes both Cast (very nice modells) Rhamphorhynchus indet.
