Actually addressing the issues people face today should be an open goal to build support but no, having petty squabbles about (insert name) party and being unable to compromise on anything is what they really are focused on doing apparently

Still remember getting this for my birthday back in year 2, great book. Love the way the museum looks on page 1.
Also is that a Ceratosaurus facing off against an ankylosaur on the cover? Always wondered about that

I still don’t get why the things they added warranted a whole new game. Things like custom islands should have been day 1 features, not the third entry in the series

I really like it when museums put the original fossil next to a full reconstruction, really helps contextualise what it looked like. Would be amazing to see the London NHM do the same with the Scolosaurus

The impression I get is that most people are aware there was an empire but the actual level of knowledge varies hugely.
Maybe it has to do with how it ended, the main perspective I see is essentially “we gave it all up”. We didn’t cling to it with long bloody wars like france so it is less felt.

From what I remember when I went up it in 2014 before it was blocked off, the only information up there were labels with basic info for each skeleton. It didn’t really make much sense beyond “here is iguanodon, here is albertosaurus”

I hope whenever they do redo the exhibit if they get rid of some of the casts they might distribute them to other UK museums, the UK lacks any other large dinosaur exhibit, most other museums with dinosaurs have a max of around 4 mounts

Better they just recast him and explain the differences as frog DNA

I really wish the London NHM had more real fossil mounts on display since it is the only place in the UK with more than ~four mounts on display

Read this as protoceratops babies and for a fraction of a second thought this was like a cuckoo situation

Are there any surviving concepts for these?

I went and saw the Nottingham exhibition, does that mean the original mount was made of real fossils? I always assumed it was a cast

What happened to it after the exhibition? Was it the same mount that went on display in London?

Now I’ve seen that photo I no longer sure if it was an unidentified beaked whale, looks definitely more like a dolphin compared to the angle it was at when I took my photo (if that is the same one from the early morning of the 10th?)
