Manticocerasman Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Last Saturday our geology club “Lithos” planned a trip to the “Musée de l’iguanodon” in Bernissart. https://bernissart.be/index.php/tourisme/musees/musee-de-l-iguanodon Apart from the usual exposition there was also a temporary display of the geology of the “Hainaut” that was made by the local geology club of Bernissart ( C.G.H. ) As a bonus we also had the opportunity to visit the club rooms and collections of the C.G.H. in the buildings next to the museum. Their collections included lots of regional fossils, minerals from all over the world an minerals from Belgium. The expo from CGH: Fossils from the former coal mines: Some of the museum displays: The real deal a genuine specimen from the famous site of Bernissart: some of the display cases in the club rooms from the CGH: 3 10 growing old is mandatory but growing up is optional.
