i can't even claim it was a slight lapse. no i've only done one so far this year! that's nearly 4 months of no weekend fossils... and i was doing so well before!
`
no more slack from me, and though i missed the weekend by a bit, here is a late installment.
one of the most complete tyrannosaurid skeletons in the world, on display at the royal tyrrell museum (and not a cast of it either mind you). it is either a gorgosaurus or albertosaurus, depending on which side of the gorgo/alberto debate you sit upon. for formalities sake i'll say a gorgosaurus.
I love that whole room.
ReplyDeleteI took some photos of the same fossil when I visited a couple of years back.
The room is a perfect example of a museum "sacred space" - the spot lighting, the taller-than-your-head pedestels adorned with fossils, the hushed, reverent atmosphere.
I loved it, loved it, loved it.
