Pic Of Mounted Tylosaurus Skeleton

Recommended Posts

Last November I made a trip to Statesboro, Georgia to visit the Georgia Southern Museum. I took a bunch of photos for my book, but the lighting was bad and I didn't think they would be very good. But this week I finally got around to transferring the images from my camera to my computer, and they turned out better than I expected. Here's one of a tylosaurus skeleton, a complete specimen from North Dakota. Scientists and fossil hunters find lots of disarticulated tylosaur specimens in Georgia's Cretaceous deposits, but none as complete as this.

Here's the 30+ ft. Onion Creek Mosasaurus in the Texas Natural Science Center (formerly Texas Memorial Museum) in Austin, Texas.

(Museum pics never seem to be very good...but you get the idea.)

Hey John,

I've never been to the museum in Austin, is it worth the drive from SA.

For every complex problem, there is a solution that is simple, neat, and wrong.
