So, since I live in Munich I thought it would be a nice idea to show you our little, but great museum here in Munich I think this Museum is mostly known for the Holotyp of Spinosaurus aegyptiacus that got destroyed in WW II. This is the Museum today: Back then the Museum was at a different location in Munich. Here you see a picture of that building back then after the bombing in 1944. As you can see, the building itself didn't collapse, but basically everything inside. They even show the famous Holotyp of Spinosaurus aegyptiacus. I had the pleasure to speak today with one of the staff members about this. After the war members of the museum tried to dig up anything they could find, but unfortunately no part of the Holotyp of Spinosaurus aegyptiacus could be recovered. At lest they tried to find it, but it's lost forever. Would the Holotyp survived the war, I think this would be the highlight of the museum. But still, there are some fine pieces in the museum Bradysaurus seeleyi Plateosaurus engelhardti Prestosuchus chiniquensis Monoclonius nasicornus Triceratops indet. (they name it just Triceratops, no species) Placodus gigas Allosaurus fragilis Megaloceros giganteus Ursus spelaeus Dinomis ingens Smilodon californicus Trichechus manatus Gomphotherium angustidens Thats for the specis I got the names. And now the rest: Enjoy (some names you can find in the pictures)
