  I rarely go to 'A Trip to the Museum', but glad I did.  A very enjoyable post.  Thank you

Then we proceed to the cephalopods:

 

and a really cool but again, anachronistic diorama which show Opabinia (top right, Cambrian) and Hallucigenia (bottom left, Cambrian) with Orthocones (Ordovician), Ammonites from the Triassic, Belemnites and echinoids from the Jurassic. 

 

Just my opinion, but it would be better if these were not in the same exhibit. 

thank you for sharing the beautiful ride, interesting museum, and space saver.
but who came up with mixing all that fossil marine life, in the same place, and time ???

Yeah, I wondered about that as well. My best guess is that they had a lot of really cool models which they wanted to display and it would have given a sense of the teeming life in paleozoic oceans, if not entirely accurate.
