Masp Posted May 18, 2018 Author Share Posted May 18, 2018 Also sorry for the photo mix up.. in the section with the rhino and hadrosaur, the two caudel verts in the pic after the bird taxidermy belong to the hadrosaur shown further down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masp Posted May 18, 2018 Author Share Posted May 18, 2018 @WhodamanHD anytime! I’m gonna try to do this for my trips in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrangellian Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 I'm surprised that any respectable museum would have an ammonite that's mostly carved like that Moroccan one appears to be, without at least mentioning it in the label. Great pics anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caterpillar Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Yes. I had the same reaction. It prove there are no specialists in the Museum. This ammonite is totally fake and I presume that the Museum gave a big price for it. But very good report anyway http://www.paleotheque.fr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrangellian Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 I hope they didn't pay a lot for it! Here the provincial museum accepts donations and will write a tax receipt for them (but only if you ask for it) up to $200. I don't know if they ever pay for anything unless they have no other choice perhaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifbrindacier Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Great photos, i'm eager to go there one time. I Wonder if @Cheyenne and @Guguita2104 have been there ?

Masp Posted May 18, 2018 Author Share Posted May 18, 2018 @caterpillar @Wrangellian yeah guys, this was the only museum that’s seriously slacking, the natural history museum. I honestly didn’t see any professionals there and the museum was kind of empty. So hopefully in the future when they do the dinosaur addition to that museum they step it up a little bit. Even the gift shop sells Moroccan fossils which I thought wasn’t so great. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludwigia Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Thanks for the report. Just curious. Can you say which Jurassic stages are exposed on that stretch of beach? Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masp Posted May 19, 2018 Author Share Posted May 19, 2018 @Ludwigia I believe the Lourihnã formation there is late Jurassic, Kimmeridgian/Tithonian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
