snolly50 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 I very much enjoyed seeing the account of your visit.

Fossildude19 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Awesome photo essay, Ralph! I really appreciate seeing this - The only time I was in Chicago, I went to the Field Museum, ... and the Hall of Dinosaurs was being renovated. I was only able to see the plant fossils at that time, ... oh, and Sue. So thanks again!

Fruitbat Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Now THAT is the way to go fossil collecting! It's all self-service, right? You just pay your entrance fee, go in, and pick out the ones you want! -Joe Illigitimati non carborundum Fruitbat's PDF Library Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimravis Posted January 8, 2018 Author Share Posted January 8, 2018 @caldigger very funny, it was a pain trying to post them, while trying to keep them in some sense of order. @Fruitbat for the amount of money that it cost to park, entrance fees and food, they should have given me some fossils.

Ludwigia Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Thanks for the tour. First time for me. Love to see it live someday, although by the looks of things, I might need more than a day to take it all in properly. Despite all of the impressive creatures you've shown us, my favorite photo is the selfie with sabre tooth Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

Tidgy's Dad Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Very impressive! And lots of excellent photos. Thanks very much for taking the time to post all of those for us, Ralph.

Paleoworld-101 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Seriously impressive, i'd love to see Sue's real skull like that in person. Thank you for sharing these pictures!

Kane Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Thanks for taking us along to see these incredible exhibits, Ralph! Certainly is inspiring, not to mention getting a fossil fix in with all the wintry weather you're having. ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey P Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Thanks for the tour. Great pictures and wonderful exhibits. Looks like you and your grandson had a great time and appreciate that you spent the effort to document it. I wish the American Museum of Natural History in New York had exhibits on invertebrates. If I'm ever in Chicago I'll definitely check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
