I feel the same way. But I've also been known to remorselessly block strangers for replying in an annoying or off-topic way, so I guess I try to live by my own standards.

At least you didn't start an entirely new thread after seeing 3 or 4 people discussing this. I think you may be on to something 😂

i know this will shock a lot of you but movies can actually be bad. like, not bad as in "oh i don't this character's choices or this vibe isn't for me" but bad in "there is no logical connection between the scenes i'm being presented with"

They commissioned some nice reconstructions of local Neogene elephants and whatnot

Is it the same group that was at Naturalis?

Opening day photo roundup continues. These are by Tom Kapitany. That's...a lot of Triceratops!

The fossil hall in Dublin, demolished 1962

Wow, what a tragedy!

Nice, one more for the list! Have you talked to Adam Stuart Smith, who had the original skull reprepared and digitized a few years ago? Maybe you could get a 3D print.

Wait, does that mean there's cordoned off 1920s fossil hall still in there?
