Abstraktum Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Hello everybody So this is another Museumreport from Germany. This time the famous Senckenberg Museum in Frankfurt. I would say this is one of the best Collections in Germany. One important note: They have a lot Cast Skeletons. I will lable every picture indicating if its a real fossil or "just" a cast. All Casts are copies of real fossils. I labled as many fossils with names as possible Enjoy Tyrannosaurus Rex Cast Triceratops horridus Cast Triceratops prorsus Real Supersaurus vivianae Cast Stegosaurus stenops Cast Iguanodon bernissartensis Cast Diplodocus longus Real (mounted skull is a cast, real skull at the bottom to see it better) Plateosaurus engelhardti Real Giraffatitan brancai Real (still labled in the museum as Brachiosaurus) Euoplocephalus tutus Cast Quetzalcoatlus northropi Cast Psittacosaurus mongoliensis Real Parasaurolophus walkeri Cast Archaeopteryx lithographica Real (a welcome suprise, I wasn't aware they got the real 11th Archaeopteryx) Edmontosaurus annectens Real (very impressive fossil, parts of the skin is still visible) Anhanguera santanae Real (there is a cast of the position it was found, but the single skull and bones on the right are the real ones) Some eggs Oviraptor is a cast Archaeopteryx lithographica and Compsognathus longipes both Cast (very nice modells) Rhamphorhynchus indet. Real Xiphactinus audax Real Tylosaurus proriger Real Varanus komodoensis and Platecarpus coryphaeus both Real Peloneustes philarchus Real Placodus gigas Real Cryptoclidus oxoniensis Cast Simosaurus gaillardoti Cast Metriorhynchus superciliosus Real Ophthalmosaurus icenicus Cast Temnodontosaurus trigonodon Real Sclerocephalus haeuseri Real Nothosaurus mirabilis Real Eurhinosaurus longirostris Real 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Amateur Paleontologist Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Very nice tour; those are excellent pictures of some truly amazing specimens! Opalised fossils are the best: a wonderful mix between paleontology and mineralogy! Q. Where do dinosaurs study? A. At Khaan Academy!...

Jackson g Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Wow what a great museum. Superb pictures as well! Looks like it blows away my trip to the Denver Museum of Natural Science & History I took last week. I pray one day museums will adopt an adult only day once a month though.

Ludwigia Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Thanks for the tour. Haven't had a chance to get there yet, even though I know one of the paleontologists. Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
