Having failed to visit the creationist dinosaur museum at Cabazon, it was time to come a bit more up to date in a couple of ways; by visiting a more reputable scientific establishment, to see more recently extinct beasties.

That was fascinating - many thanks for such a detailed description.

Thanks! Glad it was of interest :-)

I also read about the tar pits in one of the many dinosaur books I had as a child - I'd love to go.

Fabulous!
Who's your big furry friend in the photos?

I'm looking forward to little Ida's TV appearance tonight. The Messel Pit strikes me as the Steiff Cuddly Toy Cemetery: mini-horses and cute lemur-y beasts.

They're statues of Harlan's Ground Sloth.

That's a lot of sloth!
