Natural History Museum of Maastricht

Last weekend Natalie and I went on a city trip to Maastricht in the Netherlands.

After a 2h drive and a tour in the city we went to visit the "Natural History Museum of Maastricht"

 

The museum in itself is relatively small , but there are plenty of Maastrichtian fossils on display.

Of course the famous mossasaurs and turtle fossils, but also lots of display cases with invertebrates of all kind from the Maastrichtian marls in the area.

There are also a lot of volunteers working there to work on recent discoveries and to talk to the visitors about those prepparations .

Good post,Kev.

Last time I was in Maastricht,certain people prevented me from entering the museum,for fear I might not return to them that year

Dr. John Jagt has spoken to me about his work at the museum many times.  To finally see photos of the displays is a real pleasure.  Thanks for posting, Kevin.

Thank you for the tour. I love the front doors too.

Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them!
