Auspex Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Thank you, Marcel! If enough folks add topics to this new forum (which I just up and did without staff consultation), I might get to keep my job.

Mike Pocock Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 And another wow wow double wow museum visit, Auspex, I think that the thread is already a success and it will encourage people to visit museums and thus perpetuate the museums existence, you can look at images that we post and be fascinated by them, but until you actually visit one and see the exhibits for yourself you don't truly get a feel for the fossil. I for one will re visit this thread again and again and if I am traveling some where I will certainly use it to see if a museum that is listed id near enough for me to visit. Thanks for the post Regards Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
