Fn8 Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 (edited) Good evening everyone, long time I don't show up here (my bad, my thesis is ...well...a thesis). Almost 2 weeks ago I had the pleasure to visit with a friend the "Museo Civico di Scienze Naturali Malmerendi" located in Faenza. Even if it's not the biggest nor the most famous natural history museum of Emilia Romagna I consider it one of the best I've seen so far in Italy. Most of the speciments (Pliocene / Pleistocene) were collected in the area near the city. Mammals are well represented, maybe the most peculiar is what I think is the holotype of the only aardvark specie from our country (if I'm wrong please tell me). Several fishes (in particular a large grouper in matrix) and mollusks are also displayed. Edited February 13, 2020 by Fn8 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tidgy's Dad Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Wonderful collection. hanks for sharing these with us, it's always great to see the specimens in smaller, provincial museums that most of us will never have the privilege of being able to visit ourselves.

FossilNerd Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Thanks for sharing! Big things come in small packages, as the saying goes.

Fn8 Posted February 16, 2020 Author Share Posted February 16, 2020 thanks to all. What I like the most out of all the museum are the displays, even the most common of all the fossils can acquire value if given dignity 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peat Burns Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Love the fossil killifish. I think they are the first I've seen. Thanks for posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
