Post your random Prehistoric Encounter here!

[Lanthanotus]

Hello everyone,

few days ago I ran across some company's lorry which had a Trike printed on its side. I had the idea to snapshot it and upload it ehre for a new thread where everyone can just show off pics of dinosaurs and other prehistoric stuff that you meet by chance somewhere, in the news, a graffitti, a t-shirt, a corporate identity, a coffee mug, you name it.

Well, I missed to snapshot the lorry as I was in a hurry, but I found this picture in my files. It's from the museum in Perth, four years ago. They had decorated the Carnotaurus with a bridal veil because they had an exhibition running about bride's fashion.

There's this strip mall I've driven by a million times, but have never gone into until the other day.  I was trying to navigate the crowded parking lot when suddenly I had to do a double take.  "Did I just see Megalodon jaws on the corner?!"



Amazingly, I had!  Turns out, during construction of the shopping center, there were numerous paleontological finds which the owners graciously turned over to scientists.  Around the corner, there was a cast of the skull of Mixocetus found at the site, only the second of its kind!




I was also surprised to discover that the info on the signs was generally quite good!    There was additional signage I failed to photograph (it was on small pillars you had to walk around) that explained the history behind these specimens.

Oh I almost thought the thread dead by birth ....

... but that chance find of your's is really nice.
