Manticocerasman Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 (edited) Yesterday my daughter invited some friends from school for her birthday party, she was allowed to chose where we would go with her froends, and it turned out to be the "dinosaur museum" in Brussels. Here are a few pictures of our visit: Say hello to Iguanodon bernisartensis, one of the 32 complete skeletons found in a mine near the french border. Those 32 specimens form one of the major dinosaur finds in europe. Note that the positions of the specimens are incorrect, they used the skeleton of a kangaroo and an emu as inspiration. This one is in a more natural position: a few more pictures of our visit: Some Belgian Mosasaurs: And of course the compulsary souvenier shop Edited July 7, 2016 by Kevin H. 2 growing old is mandatory but growing up is optional.

Jeffrey P Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Looks like a pretty cool place, especially the Iquanadons. Appears everyone is having a great time. Do they have any of the kinds of fossils you find on display? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they have any of the kinds of fossils you find on display? They have local fossils in the museum ( the part about evolution ) but only a few iconic specimens. sadly you won't find lots of specimens here to compare with the fossils you find in the field. growing old is mandatory but growing up is optional.

Ridgehiker Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Thanks for sharing your day. Those Iguanadons are one of the most incredible dino finds ever. It would have been fascinating to hear the miners discussion when they found them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
