Both dinosaurs and prehistoric mammals...
Iv got a few, they are the reconstructed skeleton of paraceratoherium..it a massive specimen bigger than most dinosaurs and bigger than any mammoth skeletons iv seen...
 Also the skulls of samotherium,and a large elasmotherium skull. Its hard to grasp how robust and massive they are..there are no good photos online showing how big they are,so having seen them close up i can easily say they would dwarf an average size allosaurus or iguanodon skull...
The elasmotherium skull mentioned was in the berlin museum ,this skull was larger than the average sized elasmotherium skull..below it were 2 skulls of brontotherium...both nearly 3ft long and huge as well but the elasmotherium skull overshadowed it..most elasmotherium skulls would be smaller than this particular specimen....as iv seen others and they weren't close in size to this skull...
Also of note argentinosaurus and 2m femur of camarasaurus supremus..
