These are photos of the fossil exhibits that were concentrated in pretty much two locations. Some of these specimens are spectacular. Mammoth tusks from Russia, are among my favorite. This skull on the right however, is a masterfully done replica cast from an actual dinosaur skull. The rest of the examples on this page are the real deal. |
