dinosaur hall
In the foreground is the hadrosaur [i]Tsintaosaurus spinorhinus[/i] with the sauropod [i]Mamenchisaurus hochuanensis[/i] behind. To the left of the sauropod is a large therapod attacking a smaller dinosaur, and to the back right (facing away) a [i]Tyrannosaurus rex[/i]. Suspended above the [i]T. rex[/i] is the pterosaur [i]Dsungaripterus weii[/i]. To the right of the photo can be seen a preserved coelacanth (behind the little boy) and upstairs on the right the skeleton of the erythrosuchid [i]Shanisuchus shanisuchus[/i]. For those interested in palaeontology, the Palaeozoological Museum Of China is absolutely outstanding. The museum is on three floors, the lower one for dinosaurs including several fully-mounted skeletons (the displays are a mix of real fossils and casts) and fossil fish, the next floor for more dinosaurs and birds, and the third for mammals. Really fascinating fossils here, although unfortunately all the signage is in Chinese apart for the scientific names. Visited September 2013.
