Filipino Fossils of the National Museum of Natural History, Manila, Philippines
JUAN EMMANUEL posted a topic in A Trip to the Museum
Hi guys, back in the first half of October 2022 I went to the capital of the Philippines, which is Manila. I decided to hit the National Museum of Natural History, which is located in near the old historical Spanish part of Manila. Below is the entrance to the museum and I got in for free; all I had to do was show my ID (they took my Canadian ID as valid) and a proof of vaccination. A bust of Jose Rizal on the entrance. I got to the exhibits that showcases the fossils that can be found locally in the Philippines, mostly Jurassic and Cretaceous. Even though these two periods are not my interest since my locality in Ontario is mostly Ordovician/Silurian, I decided it was I'll take. Here are pics of the newly renovated interior hall. Did you guys know this museum was actually bombed during WW2 during the Japanese occupation? It was unfortunate but thank goodness the building was rebuilt.

Hi All, Wow, great forum. So many helpful people Thank you for the prompt replies on my last post. I have posted a few more pictures I took while travelling through SEA. Not sure what any of the fossils are, sorry. I especially like the fossil in the first picture. Some kind of claw or spine...? Hope you enjoy. Cheers, M
